very strong field, unless people are exhausted and not able to play their best... Sabalenka is the best player in this field, and she is defending champion. I wonder how motivated Swiatek would be, or Coco and Pegula for that matter... it is too late for them to catch Sabalenka this year anyway.

A couple of really exciting first round matches- Kostyuk vs Muchova, Cirstea - Ostapenko, Osaka-Leylah ...several in the next couple rounds.. Rybakina vs Osaka, Alexandrova vs Pegula, Andreeva vs Muchova are the ones I am looking forward to.

The Beijing-Wuhan double is quite rare - of course, Wuhan hasnt been around that long but still.. Garcia is the only one I know who has done it. Wonder how it compares with the IW-Miami double .. the conditions seem pretty similar, between Beijing and Wuhan, but the players seem more tired by now.. probably best to be fresh, like Sabalenka is..

Sabalenka has won this tournament 3 times, every time she has played, in fact! I would bet on 4 in a row...

I was thinking Madison may not play.. opens up a spot

Wouldn't this be her first time? If so, I think she'd find a way.

Raducanu had to stop due to illness.. heat, humidity, slow courts - a lethal combianation, when the player is anyway tired.. The tours should think of a uniform heat policy, no matches at high noon anywhere..
