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

- So she actually CAN think clearly!
If she wants to play tennis, make it a priority. Learn from Life choices (like having a kid with her rapper ex). Today's game is a grueling exercise in Humility if one is not fully dedicated; or does not have the time to do The Work. Raducanu is a shining example of someone with the talent but lacks the drive, attitude, and/or devotion it takes to maintain 100% capacity of everything the Tour demands.
- It's as if troubled 'Condescending Collins' is competing with The Williams' for the daily spotlight. Some just do not know when to quit.
Go fix yourselves and stop informing the public of your personal problems. The general public has their own issues in Life.
- Coach Macci and Martina Navratilova are seemingly the only reasonable voices coming out of the tennis circuit in regards to Iga at the moment.
People like Stubbs, Gilbert, and anti-Social Media dwellers have very little or nothing to offer. What they are indeed is... predictable. Why certain media think their input is of value is a mystery. Perhaps easy filler for their publications?
Media, in general, could/should consider their poor choices and lazy habits of running to the Loudest Mouths for "expert advice".
Certain Internet 'news sources' might do their own research and STOP COPYING & PASTING the first articles to hit the web with little-to-no editing or true journalism.
As for Iga (and any athlete) they are not robots. They are Human Beings and Humans, as we all know, are not infallable. Leave the expert criticisms and "solutions" to these athletes and their teams.
Disgruntled bettors and so-called "experts" are not a solution!
- Sab has more disappointments to come. She's more or less been 'skating' by many of her opponents.
Perhaps less Social Media, TV commercials, and photo-ops... otherwise those distractions will gaurantee a slide in ranking. Take that hint from the downfall of some of her colleagues.
- No kidding. Obviously this did not cross an editor's cubicle.
Other than the mediocre grammar... there are more comma's in this mess than in 'War and Peace' !!
- Sketchy chair ump in Eala's match.
I lost count how many times Siegemund walked to her box and talked between serves!!
- WTF is wrong with you people at WTA??
The Williams Freebies have gone on far too long!!
WTA is resembling a certain Orange President who feels he is free to do as he pleases; and does so despite the fact the entire world knows this game of 'untouchables' is not going to end well for any of these Losers.
- Why is this article so poorly written, and seeming not proofread?
- Lena ends any "rivalry" talk today
- It's embarrassing how tennis media (especially this rag) refuses to give Doubles their due respect.
Considering Siniakova's 11 hours of tennis in 3 days -- then winning the Indian Wells Doubles Title -- one would think an alleged tennis news source would highlight it.
