A pretty packed draw, arguably the strongest grass table (women size) before Wimbledon.
Though after the 2nd or 3rd round we should expect a few awkward loses due to the proximity of the Major.

1)Kerber v BYE
(wc)Broady v Kr. Pliskova
Putintseva v Arruabarrena
(16)Gavrilova v BYE
(10)Ostapenko v BYE
Suarez Navarro v Makarova
Cirstea v Siniakova
(5)Konta v BYE

(3)Ka. Pliskova v BYE
Riske v Cornet
Schiavone v Peng
(15)Bacsinszky v BYE
(9)Mladenovic v BYE
Zhang v Lepchenko
Konjuh v Barthel
(7)Kuznetsova v BYE

(8)Radwanska v BYE
Kukova v Davis
Bouchard v Strycova
(11)Muguruza v BYE
(14)Pavlyuchenkova v BYE

(6)Wozniacki v BYE

I expect most priorities are to get out healthy, but it will still have great matches!
I wonder if Kvitova willl play. Makes no sense after a full week now
But this is quite a good draw!

I like this! Todays SF match and Aga
(8)Radwanska v BYE
Goerges v Bellis

This would be a bad week for rain because most of these players dont want a packed schedule at the end of the week
there are a lot of players who like grass, Vesnina, Aga, etc. who could use a few matches

That seems like a good section for Aga because Goerges, Bellis and Muguruza are all having long weeks now
But Aga has to be in some form.
If it rains a lot, it could be a pain in the butt for some of the players who havent played this grass season and now have to wait around all week

OMG..(wc)Broady v Kr. Pliskova- battle of the big serving blonde babes. :drool:

I agree Bouchard v Strycova could be entertaining, as long as Genie actually puts up some sort of fight or resistance and doesn't just get steamrolled.

Potential clash of Konta vs Ostapenko in third round could be good. Then the winner of that will probably play Kerber.

Angie has a very tough quarter while Simone will probably have Petra drop out of hers after she made the Birmingham final. I hope Angie CAN find some form. Her 2017 has been pretty shocking so far

I think the PlisBot has unfinished business in Eastbourne. She didn't actually say "I'll be back" after last years final but I got that distinct vibe.:scared:


Katya is in the same part of the draw as her new arch-nemesis Jo Konta.:ras:


Suppose it its better than continually losing to Woz. But then virtually anything is better than that.

I would love to say Jo but unlikely.

Can see Vesnina making the SF's maybe, or even Wozniacki to be honest. I think I'll pick Pliskova for the title.

This is so open and probably won't give a hint about Wimbledon. Rationally Pliskova is certainly the favourite, but for some reason I don't see her winning. I'd think maybe someone like Vesnina or Konjuh. Wouldn't underestimate Penko and Mladenovic.
