 What's going on everybody welcome back to another draw preview and we have a WTA event on this week in Adelaide Which kind of feels weird because the Australian Open finished yesterday and we're still in Australia doing tournaments But there's a lot of good players playing in this event But a lot of good players have also pulled out so these are the players that are pulled out of the tournament You have alexandrova on Drescu as a ranker who's cova Brady Conceit Peterson risk Rybakina, Sakari, Vekic, Vondrasova and Yostremska has also pulled out Alright so starting at the top of the draw here We have eight seeds in this draw with the top four seeds getting a buy in the first round Ash Barty the number one seed The world number one she gets a buy in the first round should buy the winner of Zheng versus Collins in the second round So that's not an easy match there for Ash Who is the defending champion at this event that may have Stozer versus a qualifier the winner? That's gonna play either a qualifier or number five seed is fiontech so straight away you can see there We might get a fiontech versus Barty match battle of the French open winners from the last two years in the quarter finals And that'd be a great match to watch Let me know down in the comments below if you want to watch that match Then we have the number four seed Merton's getting a buy in the first round she'll play the winner of seven Stover versus Garcia and again That is a tough match for Merton's in the second round Then we have Taikman versus Mladenovic the winner of that it's gonna play the wild card Gedecky Or the number eight seed Wong in the second round so this part of the draw is pretty stacked We have Merton's who's in a great form after winning the doubles in the Australian open Obviously ash bar to the world number one is fiontech the French open champion of last year some big big names in this part of the draw Bottom half of the draw now We have the six seed Martich versus a qualifier in the first round she's got a great draw because no matter what happened She's gonna play a qualifier in the second round if she does win her first round because we have two qualifiers playing each other Then we have Rogers versus Kudamatova the winner of that's gonna play number three seed Conta who hasn't had the greatest start to the year She's been a little bit slow some injury concerns in the Australian open So she's looking to get in since the form then we have the number seven seed put in seven versus Sigamund The winner that's going to play a qualifier or Tom Yanovich in the second round Then we have Blinkova versus a qualifier and the winner of that's going to play number two seed Benchich in the second round Who's like Conta hasn't had a great start to the year didn't play great in Australia And is looking to get in since a much needed form Going to march and some of the bigger tournaments for the wta So there it is a short draw but a very packed draw. We have some grand slam champions the top half of the draw of this Tournament is insane. I mean it's beyond tech barney Merton's in form. It's going to be great to watch. Let me know down in the comments below Who do you think's going to win this one? All right go into the predictions now and I gotta tell you This is a tough one. It's a very tough one top part of the draw is very stacked bottom part It's pretty empty, but I think barney's proven that in Australia. She is very effective So I'm going to go with ash. I know she's the number one seed It's kind of an obvious pick But I'm going to go with barney because she plays well in Australia and she's been doing well lately Again, let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think's going to win this event? So the Adelaide international we continue on in Australia even after the Australian Open
