 Kind of the curtain raiser for the WTA and the the WTA is clay court season European season big names are playing big names Pulled out though, so let's start with the withdrawal list So plays that are withdrawn from the Stuttgart open as a rancor is pulled out So as Collins credit your cove is pulled out We haven't seen her for a long time She's gonna be able to play at the French open in a few months time for a couple weeks time of keeping on her Oster Penko's also out heavily a check of his out She's been out with a knee problem for a long time and Svetlana is out as well So big names that are not playing in this event all of those either top 10 or former top 10 players All right top of the draw. We've got eight seeds in this one. She'll be on tech the number one in the world She is back. She's gonna continue the streak Hopefully for her I guess continue to the streak she gets by in the first round She'll take on either gobbit or a qualifier in the second round Then we've got Paulini versus Georgie winner of that match will take on either a qualifier With a number eight seed Rado Khannu who at the moment is playing the event now She is battling blisters and we've seen that over the last few weeks She is battling blisters yesterday in the Billie Jean King Cup match So let's see and hopefully I mean look Rado Khanna versus Fjontek quarter-final who the hell thought that was even going to Happen one day. I mean that's crazy, but they both obviously have to win Rado Khanna, I don't know. I'm skeptical that Rado Khanna is actually gonna play But hopefully she does and hopefully we get that matchup in that quarter-final second corner of the draw And we've got Zachary the number four seed in the first In the second round she gets a buy in the first round She is gonna play in the Sigmund or Zed and Shek in the second Then you got Samsonova versus a qualifier Winner of that match will take on either Kvitova or the number six seed Plushka that is a fire first-round matchup Kvitova versus Plushka that is crazy in the first round and of course this section of the draw will play Shveontek in the semis or her section in the semis So Zachary versus Shveontek could be a matchup that we see and I'll tell you what that would be an absolute epic matchup If that does happen bottom half of the draw now and things are starting to get a little bit more interesting We've got Kontavate taking on Kerber Kontavate the number five seed. That's a really fun matchup there Then you've got the winner of that match will take on either Zheng or Alexandrova in the second round Then you've got Naimea the wild card taking on Drescu good to see her back Winner of that match will take on the number three seed Sabalenka on Drescu versus Sabalenka second round That's a real interesting match considering both those ladies are not in great form If on Drescu can win her first round and place Sabalenka in the second that is a must-watch match Fire bottom quarter of the draw now We've got Vondrusova taking on the number seven seed Jabor what a matchup What a great match in the first round winner that match will take on either golf or Kazakina in the second round Then we've got Rabakina versus qualifier. Winner will take on Bedossa in the second bottom half the draw is absolutely stacked You know, you've got to watch out for obviously Bedossa and Jabor Vondrusova and Rabakina are very dangerous on clay and golf I mean the last quarter of the draw here is massively stacked Definitely bottom half the draw is the hardest part of the draw But man, I remember this section of the draw will take on the Sabalenka section, but we all know Sabalenka is not in good form So who is gonna win this tournament? I mean it's English for context to lose, right? But maybe Zachary Sabalenka got to the final here last year. Maybe she does something Bedossa, I mean she's in pretty good form this year. Let me know down in the comments below Who do you think is going to win in Stuttgart?
