The Kerber-Muguruza quarter is absolutely packed, lol. I hope Kiki doesn't lose to Lucic on clay again :tape: She singlehandedly destroyed her clay season last year.

All I want is the Sharapova-Radwanska R2, everything else is irrelevant. I assume Pliskova, Kuznetsova, or Konta will win this.

Judgeing on this years form best matches of R1 should be : Lucic-Mladenovic, Vesnina-Kasatkina, Sevastova-Stosur. Also surely Muguruza-CSN.

Other R1 matches should be lower quality.
No idea who wins this. I would say Kuznetsova in the final. From top half it literally could be anybody (Kerber, MLB, Kasatkina, Muguruza, Cibulkova)

Kerber could very well lose in her opening match. She has a tough, tough draw in the QFs too, especially if she faces Vesnina, Kasatkina (both whom have beaten her this year) or Muguruza (whom she lost to a couple times last year). So she'll need to play very well from the first match if she wants to defend her title again.

Have to say Maria lucked out with the draw, she pretty much got all the out-of-form players in her quarter with Vinci, Makarova, Aga and even Domi in the QFs. She can make it far if she plays at a decent level.

Konta or Halep should make it through their sections and set up a potential rematch of the Fed Cup match we'll see tomorrow.

Kuznetsova should get through her section too, Bertens is terribly out of form and her second round opponent isn't particularly in good form either. Her only challenge would be Karolina but I don't think she's THAT good on clay yet to trouble Sveta if Sveta plays near her best.

Let me go out on a limb and say either Muguruza/Kuznetsova (or even Maria) win this, I don't see Kerber defending her title with the form she's showed this year and the draw she has.

Also, at the live draw, Konjuh was like: "I feel as if I'm going to play Maria, but everybody is feeling that way." :hysteric:

Not that difficult to get that "prediction" right considering a tournament draw only has two halves, and its literally a 1 in 2 chance that you get it right :shrug:

But anyway on this surface I would think getting KP is an easier draw than Kerber tbh, especially if Kerber/Maria meet because I think Kerber will tree there. Not so sure about KP.

On a second look, Maria should really make it past her quarter. Of course, we don't know her form, but the players in that quarter are either 1) bad on clay or 2) struggling this year or 3) both. Wait, she can even make the final :lol:

Exactly. Trying not to too optimistic given we don't know her form, but the first 2 rounds are winnable and even Domi is really out of form

post meldonium Sharapova winning the poll :spit:

Halep should win this if she's close to her best. Has no business losing against most of these on clay except to a peaking Muguruza.
the desperation :lol:

Go Maria ! :rocker2:

Lucic vs Mladenovic :eek:
Russian Fed Cup girls battle Vesnina vs Kasatkina :rolls:
Spanish battle Muguruza vs Navarro :speakles:

Dream draw for Maria :lol:

Radwanska in R2 and Onionowa in QF. And semiretired Vinci in R1.

Lovely.

Let the show begin.
