 What's going on everybody welcome back to another draw preview and we have another WTA event We have a lot of WTA events this week This one is called the Gippsland Trophy and it's in Melbourne of course It's another new event on the calendar with the schedule being changed They made this event up and this event's got some solid names All right the top quarter of the draw like I said the top ten seeds get a bicep of a Samona Halop Second round already she'll play the winner of Osuujwi or Parapova. So not a bad start there for Halop She's got a good little start to her tournament Then you've got Ayava versus Pakey the winner of that match will play the winner of Diaz or the number 16 seed Sigmund so again Halop not a bad way to start a couple of matches definitely winnable for her Then you've got the number nine seed Alexandrova She'll play the winner of Shmedlova or Savonnik in the second round Then you've got Juvan versus Wang the winner of that's gonna play against the number six seed Sveontek so straight away you probably can tell quarter finals Sveontek versus Halop replay of the French Open where Sveontek just blew Halop off the court last year She played incredible. So we have a potential rematch in the quarter finals of this one I can't wait to see that on a hard court as well second quarter of the draw We got the number four seed Sabalenka getting a buy in the first round She'll play the winner of Sharma versus Canepi Then we have Buzzenescu versus Kazakina the winner of that's gonna play the Gasperin or the number 15th seed Hercog to Sabalenka who's in great form at the moment. She's on a massive win streak good start for her Then you got the number 10 seed Wang She'll play the winner of Paulini or the Canadian Marino in the second round Then you've got Habino versus Tormo winner of that match is gonna play the number eight seed Muchova in the second round So Sabalenka pretty good draw for her. She's on a win streak She won Abu Dhabi at the start of the year and she's in a good part of the draw But remember once she makes the semi-finals she's gonna have to face either Sveontek or Halop potentially So it's not gonna get easier. Let's go to the top half of the bottom half now And we got Mertens the number seven seed buy in the first round She'll play the winner of Lepchenko or Hibi in the second round Then you've got Teague versus Babosh winner of that's gonna play against Rodya Nova or the number 12 seed Garcia in the second round Number 13th seed Osta Penko has Arani in the first round now That is a popcorn match fiery customer Arani and she used to be really really good If you remember back in the day made a couple of Grand Slam finals The winner of that match is going to play Kovnić or Zedinsek in the second round Then you've got Trevesin versus Petkovich winner. That's going to take on the number three seed Svetolina in the second round So Svetolina she had a pretty good end of last year We'll see if she can regain that form at the start of 2021 before the Australian Open and Mertens versus Svetolina That is on paper the quarterfinal But we all know WTA can cause massive upsets and anything could happen This is a pretty unpredictable part of the draw then the bottom section of the draw We have Joe Konson the number five seed by in the first round You take on the winner of Perra versus Gedecki in that second round Then you've got Sarenko versus Sasnević the winner of that's going to play either Bogu or the number 11 seed Zeng Then you've got the 14th seed Golf versus Taikman in the first round winner That's going to play against Kelenskaya or Bolta in the second round Then another interesting first round match. You've got Kornay versus Tomijanovic The winner of that's going to have to take on Naomi Osaka the number two seed the US Open champion And you can probably tell their third round matchup potentially between golf and Osaka They've had a couple of good matches in their early career. I mean they're both still young We know golf's very young Osaka is only early 22 and they've had some epics They played the US Open a couple of years ago. They played the Australian Open last year So they're starting to form a little bit of a rivalry these two and I can't wait to see another one in the third round So there you have it. I think this one is probably the stronger tournament We've got the number two the number three playing in this one and Sabalenka Who's absolutely on fire and also Svetlana in this draw as well, but let me know down in the comments below Who do you have winning this? It's so hard for me to go past Sabalenka But then she's got to take on Osaka and Helip just to get through also Sveontek How could we forget about her? I think i'm leaning towards Sabalenka I think Sabalenka might win this one, but again, it's wta anything could happen Let me know down in the comments below who you think's gonna win another wta event And a lot of good players playing in this one
