Yeah, if Madison maintains the form that won her two end of season ITFs, she should win this pretty easily. It will be interesting to see if Maria learned anything in the Phoenix final, or if Beth's experience can show through. Should be some interesting matches.

Pegula turned it down, I don't know why Min isn't playing. Especially it being in Atlanta
