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
* Joanna Garland, Lucia Bronzetti, Leolia Jeanjean

- THAT IS TRUE. AND THE IOC SHOULD BE CONSIDERING PULLING THE OLYMPICS FROM AMERICA, SINCE THEIR FASCIST PRESIDENT HAS DECIDED TO BAN CERTAIN COUNTRIES FROM THE OLYMPICS, ALONG WITH ALL OTHER ATTROCITIES HE IS COMMITTING.
- SHE IS RIGHT. AMERICANS ARE NOT SWITCHING ANY. BUT THEN AGAIN, THEY ARE NOT BEING HARASSED LIKE THE RUSSIANS AND BELARUSIANS BECAUSE THE TENNIS ORGANIZATIONS AND THE IOC ARE RACIST ORGANIZATIONS. I GUESS IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IF YOU INVADE UKRAINE OR VENEZUELA. ONE IS A NATION OF COLOR.
- Mind of a child.
WTA needs to truncate this dress-up nonsense before tennis gets reduced to the level of a Reality TV show.
- 2026 WTA Rule Book
Between Serves: While it is considered rude to shout between a first and second serve, it is generally not considered a rules violation unless the umpire deems it a deliberate, unsportsmanlike attempt to hinder the server.
- Note to Osaka: Grow the F-- up.
- She looks more dangerous than anyone on that tour. And now that America has committed actions that are worse than Putin's, all that nonsense about Ukraine will be dropped. Otherwise, the Tennis organizations are going to have to hand down punishment to the American players. Something they look like they are trying to avoid. The corruption and racism in tennis is showing their ugly heads.
- Her appearance screams mental health issues.
As do some of her statements.
- "Success" can be measured in many ways.
Some people would not be comfortable 'playing' their sponsors and not giving your 100% on a daily basis.
While others would obviously be okay with shopping, taking unlimited selfies, and photo-shoots for a "living".
Sometimes it's not about one's wealth, but how that status is obtained... and maintained. You know... integrity, dignity, and all that.
- If Emma - round2canu is a Uniqlo an ambassador, Uniqlo will be on my blacklist. Speaking as a Chinese based in Singapore/China who shops at Uniqlo from time to time and similar to Emma’s age,I would not want to pay a dime more to a brand that pays 3 + mil + bonus for this joker. Never once shown enough grits after losing a set. Body still not match ready to endure the grinding of the tour after 4 years since her one lucky win. Never stringed 4 consecutive wins in WTA/ITF/Slams in the last 4 years and never once made to finals and never won any new titles ( even 250).
One of the most stupid things that the western marketeers seem to have misunderstood is that the fact she has Chinese heritage does not make her more appealing to Chinese audience. Happy to support many other Chinese players with great potential and hardworking. Emma is the most hyped player but she is not that special to Chinese.
- Will someone please tell her she's not ten years old anymore?
