Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor of TennisUpToDate.com goes for the rogue but not so rogue in his picks.
It would be easy to pick Donna Vekic given she is the top name involved but I see one of the so-called spoilers who often showcase themselves to be trouble for the big names.
Such as Magda Linette, Tatjana Maria and even a first time win for someone like Joanna Garland. It will be one of two extremes I feel and often late in the season is where the surprise names thrive over the ones who have been playing all year.
Favourites
*** Magda Linette
** Tatjana Maria, Donna Vekic
* Joanna Garland, Lucia Bronzetti, Leolia Jeanjean

- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.

- Pegula withdrew from this Singapore event
- Serena Williams chose her tournaments. It's not such a bad idea.
- This child is just too fragile. Step away from tennis for a year. Get healthy, get fit; train hard;ranking be damned, and come back as strong contender. Anisimova did it. So can Emma.
- Double standards, what can be said!? Venus is p**ing on media and public. Can't face defeat. Cowerdness!
Shouldn't be given any other wild cards ever. That's gross disrespect.
- Anywhere is better than Saudi Arabia!
- He'd be a perfect coach for Rafael Jodar.
- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general.
The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium.
This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.
