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

- Can someone please tell Stubbs to STFU?
This is not a match commentating situation (where she also cannot shut her mouth; not even for a second).
This is BIOLOGY. Look it up, before you next bless us with your lack of wisdom.
Better yet... have that male Olympic boxer in Algeria throw a "female" punch at you and let us know how that goes.
- This testing should have been done years ago as a prerequisite to competing in any male or female sport.
Safety First -- Biology Rules!!
- Poor Aaron has been so bothered, for so long, by this possibility of proving one is NOT a male in a female sport that his list of unproven, unsupported claims is laughable. Claiming "privacy" and "Rights" is nothing short of lame.
I challenge Mr. Solomon to take advantage of his "Right" to take a punch from that Algerian "female" boxer (whom failed testing -- and subsequently continues to play the system). This is the one who has injured several female opponents.
WTA should absolutely not receive any credit for this common sense ruling!!! They have finally been forced to do so by the IOC.
Imagine, after far too many years and injuries by males hurting females, "gender equality" comes to the sport of tennis (females competing with genuine biological females).
- Hurry on back Carlos! We miss you!!
- Well done to the author of this article!! A meltdown is what Coco experienced at the US Open the year she was chirping at her box, very near to tears, double faults were in great supply and she simply could not get a handle on that match. THAT AP is a meltdown!!
- This sensible approach helped Muchova... and look where she will find herself tomorrow (Wimbledon Final).
Iga's wise to escape... especially to Nature and so. The wilderness (forests, lakes, mountains) has been my "Church" and escape from The Noise since I was a kid.
She'll do well in the end.
- "Like if it was hotter, I probably would have won, I'm not gonna lie."
Geezus...
- This one has totally lost the plot.
She is about to cross the racism line in her hatred for Russian people.
NEWSFLASH DARLING -- Russian majority of citizens (and your ex-Colleagues whom you shamed) are not who you should be aiming at. Grow up.
- Why do all these "experts" feel the need to publicly "tell players" what they need to do, or what they're doing wrong??
How about this -- if you're so concerned with a player's situation actually take the time to contact the team in question and talk directly to them. Yapping in public media is rarely, if ever, helpful.
- Gee... preferential treatment all the way to the end? STOP IT WTA & WIMPLEDON !!!
This entire WILLIAMS CHARADE is 100% unfair to young upcoming players who legitimately earned a shot at a Wildcard.
The whole scenario with these freebies to The Williams' is pathetic and barely within the rules (which have been bent like a pretzel to accomodate them).
The lamest excuse this time is "...she is a top draw".
How does that apply to Wimbledon which is sold-out in advance?
Stop enabling this abhorrent "Look at me" behavior. If they want to make believe they can compete -- LET THEM PLAY QUAILIFIERS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
