 Alright, so the Charleston draw came out around this time yesterday and there's a lot of players playing in this one It's a big event WTA 500 event on the green clay Which is kind of weird to see when you watch the event, but some players some big names are playing It's got a big top 10 list, but some big names have also pulled out So let's go to the withdrawal list. So here are the withdrawals for Charleston We have Danielle Collins. She pulled out Simone Halop's also out Arne Lee, Martin Kober Mughalruth is pulled out, Osta Penko, Diaz, Petkovich, Ruz, Sharif, Svetolina is out and Svjantek has also pulled out of this one for obvious reasons She's just played one three of the biggest tournaments on the tour So she deserves a week off so some big names out there and okay So here is the top of the draw you can see there Sabalenka is up the very top She got a wild card She gets a buy on the first round top eight seeds get a buy in the first round Sabalenka she awaits the winner of risk versus McNally We're going out in the first round then we got Putinseva taking on a qualifier winner of that match takes on either another Qualifier or the number 15 seed and this a mova in the second round then we've got the number nine seed Keys taking on gas and over winner of that match takes on either bulk of a debts It's taken on Davis then we've got a qualifier taking on Paulini winner of that takes on the number six seed Pagola so Sabalenka is not in great form. So who does who wins who comes out of this part of the draw It's gonna be tough. I've got no idea Pagola was good last week But again, this is a clay court event. So who's gonna be well on clay? Maybe and this some over might be the one to watch out for because the Nissan Mova was a French open semi-finals a few years ago So maybe a Nissan Mova is the one to watch out for or maybe keys But yeah, I feel like you know the top seeds in this one. I don't know It's hard to pick them especially Sabalenka at the moment second part of the draw now the second quarter of the draw We've got Jabor the number four seed She gets a buy in the first round should take on either either Navarro or Bregel in the second round Then we've got Wong versus Bagu winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or the number 14 seed Tom Yanovich in the second round then we've got the number 12 seed Cornei taking on parks winner of that match takes on either Rusei or the American Baptist there then we've got Sastin bitch taking on Kalanina winner of that match takes on the number five seed Rabakina so the two big names Jabor Rabakina, I think they're the names to watch out for Rabakina's played well on clay in the past So, you know don't don't overlook her don't think that just because she's a big hitter doesn't mean she could play on clay She can she's very good on the clay so yeah interested to see how this one plays out again being a WTF 500 event You just never know what's gonna happen bottom half of the draw now the second or the third quarter of the draw We've got Fernandez the number seven seed getting a buy in the first round She'll take on an either Lynette or volley net so we're going at it in the first round Then we've got Rodgers versus Canepi winner of that match takes in either French or the number 11 seed Kaviteva in the second round Then we've got the number 13 seed Stevens taking on Zheng winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or Alexandrova In the second round, then we've got Zavatsko taking on Yuan winner of that match takes on the number three seed Carolina Pushkova we haven't seen much up because she's been injured for the most part I guess if you're looking at form You're probably gonna go with Fernandez or Kaviteva or Stevens hard to pick Pushkova right now because she is Still coming back from that hand injury But again, it's one of those events where I don't know You know the top seeds might not be the ones who wins and the bottom section of the draw We've got the defending champion the number eight seed Kudamatova She plays a qualifier in the second round because we've got two qualities going at it Then we've got Kondru versus the wild card Fruvatova who had a good week last week in Miami Winner of that match takes on either Wong on the number 10 seed Benchage in the second round Then we've got the number 16 seed Zhang taking on a qualifier winner of that match takes on either another Qualifier or Lu in the second round then we've got Hartono taking on Bondare winner of that match takes on the number two seed Palipa Dosa and I think but Dosa is gonna be the favorite for this tournament Even if you know she's the second seed She's definitely in better form than someone like a Sabalenka So she's probably the favorite to win the whole thing definitely got to watch out for her Kudamatova is the defending champ worth watching out for her, but also Benchage Benchage, you know having a good week last week. She can play on clay. I think she won Madrid a few years ago, which is a big clay court event So watch out for her as well anyone could win especially coming off Miami. It's it's a very quick transition from Miami to the clay I mean, but Dosa is the favorite I think to win it and she's probably the one everyone expects to win it But I don't know it's a tricky one for me. Maybe Sabalenka comes good. Maybe I don't know Maybe Jabor comes good and and win something. Maybe Pliscavo. This is her return. I I don't know It's gonna be tough, but I think for Dosa the favorite and she's the one to pick for the W and for the win But let me know in the chat. Let me know in the comments. What do you think? Who's gonna win this event in Charleston?
