Go hibi!

 

[auntie janie]

Good luck to Abaza! Though I have to say I love that old-fashioned name "Peggy Porter".

 

[Inger67]

Definitely think Hibi has this.

 

[Daebak.]

Sandra or Mayo will win.

 

[ricanpuigfan]

I think Alexandra Mueller has a shot. It should be interesting. Has any player that has won this qualifying gone on to qualify for the open?

[2] Alexandra MUELLER (USA) BYE

Predictions, anyone? I'm liking Hibi's chances...

 

[joeh37]

Hibi is in a much better half of the draw. She should make the final.
I think Abaza coulc come through the 4th section and play Roma for a spot in the final.

Still think Hibi will take it though.

I know Nika is ranked, something in the 600s. I think she only really plays US hardcourts seasonally. Has had a terrible summer, however.

 

[Archer16]

Mueller is top 500 (noticed her when playing with and against Glushko last month), so obviously Hibi is there too.
Was a bit surprised to find out that the former is 24 and the latter is only 16!

The results of the young Japanese definitely show promise and a top 100 potential.

I think Alexandra Mueller has a shot. It should be interesting. Has any player that has won this qualifying gone on to qualify for the open?

Good call :yeah: and I'd also like to know the answer to this question.
