 Alright, so the Indian Wells draw is live. We have just gone through. We've reacted to it But now it is time to go through it piece by piece the WTA women's draw for Indian Wells 2022 And we have some banger matchups Well, let's start with the withdrawals because we do have some big names that are not playing in this event All right, we start with the world number one Ash Barty. She has pulled out of Indian Wells She is officially out of the tournament Daniel Collins the player that Barty beat in the final of the Australian Open is also out So the two Australian Open finalists gone Christian also out Georgie's out, Mukava's out, Pavlia Cenkava's out still struggling with a knee injury On Drescu's not playing and also Serena Williams not playing so some big names missing from this draw But we have some big names playing and some very interesting Matchups happening in the first few rounds. Top 32 seeds get a buy in the first round, Kredjakova. She's up the top there Number one seed. She'll play the winner of a qualifier versus Pedersen who are going at it in the first round Then we've got Tom Anovich versus Baptist winner of that plays the number 26 seed Castella in the second round. Then we've got number 24 seed Halep in the first into the second round already She's awaiting the winner of Alexander over versus the wild card Kaleeva We're going out in the first round. Then we've got Lou versus a qualifier winner of that plays Coco Gough The number 16 seed in the second round You can see their third round potential between Gough and Halep Fourth round potential match between Kredjakova and Halep if you're going by maybe the more experienced of the players It's gonna be a fun part of the draw. I think this is pretty wide open All right second section of the draw and we have Raducanu the number 11 seed buying the first round She's gonna have a very tough second round because you've got Yastremska and Garcia going out in the first round two players who played well last week in a little bit of form We'll see who Raducanu has to play in that second round Then you've got Bondare versus Martich winner of that plays against Zedenshek the number 19 seed in the second round Then you got Sansen over number 28 seed into the second round She's waiting the winner of Bregel versus Lee couple of Americans playing in that first round Then we're Covenish versus Taikman winner of that plays Pliskeva in the second round Who's the number seven seed next quarter of the draw here? We have Igor Shriyantek the number three seed buying the first round She'll be awaiting the winner of Burl versus Kalanina. We're going at it in the first round Then we've got Mayer versus the Wild Cards to fear Kennan. That's a crazy wild card Winner of that match takes on either takes on the number 29 seed Towson in the second round Then we got the number 23 seed Kazakina. She's awaiting the winner of Volly Nets versus Russe in the first round Then we've got Geng versus Voniraeba winner of that takes on Angelique Kerber in the second round. Who's the number 15 seed? Shriyantek's got a good draw. Of course Kennan Mayer who had a good week last week Kennan Of course a Grand Slam champion. Towson's pretty good Kerber down the bottom But I think Igor Shriyantek would be liking her draw She should get through this based on her recent form and also based on her matchups against these other players and the next section of the draw as we round out the second quarter of the draw We've got Svetlina the number 12 seed Getting a buy in the first round as everyone does. Kondru versus Kornay will place one of them will place Svetlina in the second round. Then we've got Montgomery versus Canepi winner of that match takes on the number 22 seed Benchich in the second round Then we've got the number 25 seed Keys. She awaits Potapova or Doi who are going out at it in the first round Then you got risk versus a qualifier winner of that match takes on Mugarrutha number eight seed in the second round This is a very interesting part of the draw because Svetlina, Mugarrutha Keys, Benchich all could get through the quarter finals But all have had sketchy results. Some have done well at one week and then bad the next week Some haven't done well at all this year. So it's interesting to see who actually gets through this part of the draw All right bottom half of the draw and we've got Bedossa number five seed defending champion She gets a buy in the first round She'll play either a qualifier or Martin Kovar in that second round Then we've got Dodden versus qualifier winner of that takes on the number 32 seed Tormo in the second round Then we've got Leila Fernandez number 18 seed She awaits the winner of Anissa Moeba or the wild card Navarro We all know that Fernandez is in some good form after last week in Monterey Then we've got Diaz versus Rogers winner of that takes on the number 10 seed OstaPenco This part of the draw is crazy OstaPenco Fernandez in the third round But Anissa Moeba Fernandez in the second round is a very tough matchup And then the winner of any of that part of the draw probably plays Bedossa in the fourth round So OstaPenco Bedossa fourth round Fernandez Bedossa in the fourth round. Here we go. They just updated it We've got number 14 seed Pagula in the first getting a buy in the first round Of course she'll play a qualifier in the second round no matter what because we've got two qualifiers Going out in the first round then one of the most Exciting first round matchups going around Stevens versus Osaka former champions Grand Slam champions Stevens in form Osaka Not so much We'll see what happens with that one winner of that plays number 21 seed Kudamitoba in the second round Very fun matchup. We have to watch that on day one. Then you got von Druze for the 30th seed She awaits the winner of sheriff versus qualifier in the first round Then we've got Kachova versus Rusei winner of that takes on the number four seed Contavate in the second round Look Contavate's got a good draw. I think that von Druze is tough But I think manageable and Osaka Stevens Who knows who's gonna get if they're gonna get through or if Kudamitoba Pagula if they get through Who knows what's gonna happen at the top part, but Contavate should be just waiting in the fourth round for all of those players to play up again So maybe it's Osaka Contavate Then again von Druzeva is tough Maybe von Druzeva is maybe she knocks out Contavate at some point because I do think von Druzeva is underrated at times This bottom quarter of the draw the top section of the bottom quarter of the draw We've got Sarkary the number six seed she gets a buy in the first round She'll take on the winner of Sinia Koba versus Bogu in that first round Then we've got Osorio versus Sastavich winner of that match takes on Kovitova number 27 seed in the second round Then we've got the number 20 seed Mertens. She awaits the winner of Kostruv versus Zenevskar who are going out in the first round Then we've got a qualifier versus Zheng winner of that takes on the number nine seed Jabor He gets a buy in the first round so in this part of the draw We could be seeing Kovitova versus Sarkary in the third round Jabor versus Sarkary in the fourth round that could happen Players obviously like Osorio who's in good form from last week She's definitely want to watch out for as the unseeded players Maybe she can make a run as she did last week in her her tournament over in Monterey she played very well there almost won that title so we'll see how she feels But I think this is Sarkary's part of the draw to win Jabor got to the semi-finals of this tournament last year though So maybe on Straboa can take on Take over this part of the draw and make it to the quarters Here we go We've got the bottom section of the draw now number 13 seed Azarenka She'll take on either Lynette or Peckovich. We're going out in the first round Then we've got Van Udvang versus qualifier winner of that match takes on Rabakken and the number 17 seed in the second round Then we've got the number 31 Golovic Waiting the winner of Putinseva versus a qualifier Then we've got another qualifier taking on Polini winner of that match takes on the number two seed Sabalenka this part of the draw is interesting for me because Sabalenka is not in great form In 2022 Azarenka is the defending finalist, but she's been injured at times this year and she's also been Her form hasn't been great either so I don't know I mean probably Azarenka is the most the obvious pick I think Fiontechs got the best the best draw. She should be the favorite I think she is the favorite to win the tournament, but that's where I'm sort of that Let me know in the chat. Let me know in the description. Who do you think's gonna win this tournament? Some are saying Osta Penko some are saying Contivate You know some some are going with Osaka who's unseated so we'll see what happens But tournament starts Wednesday And hopefully we'll be starting with Osaka versus Stevens in the first day of the first It'll probably be the first night session wouldn't it?
