Kasatkina still playing in San Jose and possibly going till the end, so it's not granted that will face Andreescu, and in any case not in the best condition.
Bianca coil even win a match.

 

[BLOHM95]

Huh? Why?

both big hitters but to be honest I’m not convinced Shelby moves well enough to hang with Iga and BHM and Kuder can be error machines

Kudermetova is a set and a break up against Jabeur and 8th at the race and have some respect for Fernandez.

 

[Frainbart]

Those courts are crazy fast I think I don’t think if Serena serves well that Jill will have an easy go

Oh, so you are penciling them to meet in the final?

 

[Geococcyx]

Hopefully Osorio qualifies and draws Fernandez.

Rybakina vs Gauff R2. So either Rybakina shows the Kasatkina loss was a fluke, or she is back to being Rybakina

She would have to get past a qualifier first of course

SST can reset Aryna's career again

 

[Monzanator]

Badosa got the easiest quarter of the Top 4 seeds IMO

[BrengleisGOAT!]

Sloane vs Kenin in R1

Well, at least one of them now gets a win, something that was in doubt if they were up against literally ANY OTHER opponent (including Serena and Venus)

 

[Julian.]

Some very tough first-round matches:

Bencic vs Azarenka
Osaka vs Kanepi
Kenin vs Stephens
Krejcikova vs Pliskova
Kasatkina vs Andreescu
Cornet vs Garcia (both beat Iga recently)
Raducanu vs Giorgi
Teichmann vs Venus (maybe not tough for Teichmann)

OMG!!!! I already bought the day ticket for Monday August 8 centre court. Hoping to see these blockbuster 1R matches then. I got 3 matches.

Wow some brutal first round matches! Raducanu v Giorgi, Kasatkina v Andreescu, Azarenka v Bencic

Overall though that 3rd quarter is probably the most open. Looking forward to the tournament!

No one cares about Kanepi vs Osaka? This is a really brutal 1R!

 

[Badboy92]

Kontaveit has a good draw.

 

[JoyLuckScrub]

Does anybody know what ball the tournament is using? Will it be the same Wilson regular duty ball that the US Open uses?

 

[Sharky]

What a brutal draw for Slaylah and 2019 drama queen! 😱

 

[jimbo mack]

Exciting draw. So many 1st round matches of interest, let alone what the potential match ups could be later in the draw.

Iga could open up versus Kudermetova. Tricky.

Shelby Kudermetova?
