Sad to see Sveta still injured. No chance to be an alternate in Singapore and loss of two times defending champ.
Maria gets a really tough opener again. She is slowly finding form in Tianjin though.
Mladenovic should really end her losing streak here once and for all! Had some proper time to rest now as well.
Really tough one to predice once again. :lol:
Lets see how Sharapova does here. Pavs having a long week in China, but she loves this event if she's not worn out
Both Sharapova & Pavs have tough round 1's
The third quarter compared to the 2nd quarter is ridiculous. I know Sharapova being unseeded means its always going to be like that. But the best three unseeded players in one section is brutal.
I think Babos will beat Kiki again just like in New Haven, nothing suggests to me that Kiki is in the right mind to win really.
Assuming Kanepi qualifies she could be dangerous too.
I'm going to punt for Sharapova to beat Pavs in the final.
Balanced enough draw considering most of the in-form players aren't seeded. Hoping for a Pavs-Pova final, though the former will probably flop to Kasatkina.
Dasha Kasatkina NIDing this one easy as a piece of cake and showing her glorious talent. Moscow can only be won by a Russian anyway. No one stopping Dashka here. Except another Russian lol.
