Keys, Navarro and Stephens all land close to each other and Sabalenka. Ugh.

Rybakina can't complain.

Danielle Collins got unlucky but she probably isn't afraid of Iga.

Indy's Emina Bektas (No. 98) drew Mirra Andreeva. Bektas has a big serve.

[ponchi101]

Collins isn't afraid of Iga, sure. That doesn't mean she can beat her, on clay.
Iga's draw is a charm. 5 warm ups and then another player that she totally owns.
Bianca Andreescu is back. I had totally forgotten she still plays.

LEFT to my own devices- I'd have put 6 on Iga.

I didn't say Collins can beat Iga, but not being intimidated is the first step. Most players lose in the locker room. Collins at least has a puncher's chance.

[meganfernandez]

Pegula is out... not totally surprised. Only defending 100 points so she won't fall out of the Top 10, maybe not even Top 5. I could see this year being a total wash for her. Wonder if she will even play the Olympics.

I would put 5, but... I didn't want to vomit at work.

Replaced her with ONS in the poll.
Yes, her withdrawal makes no difference to the outcome of this tournament.
