 This video is brought to you by PlayYourCourt. Alright, so Miami is upon us. We've got the Miami draw. I know that Indian Wells literally finished minutes ago or hours ago, depending on when you're watching this, but Miami has already started. The women's draws out. So let's go through the withdrawals for the women's draw, and then we'll get to the draw itself. Starting with the withdrawals, we have big names pulling out of this one, Barty. She's out. Who's the defending champion? So she's gone. We've got Christian Racheva, Krejkova, the second seed, or what would have been one of the top seeds. She's out. Osorio is out. Interesting. Pavlia Cenkovic is out. Pedersen and Petkovic are all out of this one. So some big names in that one. You know, some informed players and some big names, including that defending champion of Barty. Top of the draw. We have 32 seeds in this one, so it's exactly the same as Indian Wells. It should be the sixth Grand Slam, I guess. 32 seeds, top 32 seeds, all 32 seeds, get a buy in the first round. Sabalenka. She's the number one seed, buy in the first round. She'll take the winner of Baftis versus Begu, who are going out in the first round. Then we've got a qualifier taking on Sastinvich. Winner of that takes on Kazikina, the number 25 seed in the second round. Then we've got Bedjic, the number 22 seed. She gets a buy in the first round, takes on Van Udvang or Kostjuk, who are going out in the first round. Then we've got Watson versus Ruz, winner of that place, the number 15 seed, Betelina in the second round. Look, this part of the draw is wide open, because some of these players have had moments this year, but for the most part, these players have not played well, especially Sabalenka. So I don't know who gets out of this part of the draw, it's wide open. It could be a seed, it could be a qualifier. It's super open for me. Second part of the draw we have, Rada Kanu, the number 11 seed up the top of the draw, up the top of this part of the draw, she gets a buy in the first round. She'll play either a qualifier or a senior kova in the second round. Then we've got Minun versus Sabal, winner of that place, Samona Halib, number 23 seed. So you can see we will get Rada Kanu Halib in the third round. Maybe we've been that close so many times again, one win each and they make it into the third. Let's see if it happens. Then we've got Georgie, the 27 seed. She'll play the winner of a qualifier versus Tom Manovich. Then we've got Montgomery versus a qualifier, winner of that place, number six seed, Plushkova. Now we're basing it on form, Halib's in form. She's in the best form in this part of the draw, but she also is injured. So let's see how injured she is after that match against Shriyantak. Top part of the second quarter of the draw. The number three seed, Kondravape, buy in the first round. She'll take on the winner of leave versus Sharif. We're going out in the first round. Then we've got Taikman taking on risk. Winner of that match takes on the 31st seed, Kornay in the second round. Then we've got Fernandez, the 18th seed. She will play either Mukava or Martin Kova in the second round. Then we've got Osaka taking on Sharma. Winner of that match will take on the 13th seed, Angelique Kerber. There she is, Osaka, the most dangerous unseeded player in the draw. She has like, Sharma's not easy, but she can get through Sharma, play Kerber, and then play Fernandez. I mean, that is a crazy start to this tournament. If it happens, Osaka Fernandez rematch, even Kerber Fernandez rematch from the US Open last year. She played both of them. She beat both of them in epic fashion. So, very fun matches in this part of the draw. Not to mention, Contavate is going to play the winner of probably one of those ladies in the fourth round. Next part of the draw now, we've got Collins, the number nine seed defending Australian Open finals. She's back. Haven't seen her for a while. She'll take on either Garcia or Bonder in the second round. Then we've got Dory versus a qualifier. Winner of that takes on the number 19 seed, Zedenshek in the second round. Then we've got Tomo, the 32nd seed. She takes on either Kanepi or Zenevska, who are going out in the first round. Then we've got Lynette versus Zheng. Winner of that match takes on the number eight seed, once Jabor, in the second round. So, Collins, good to see her back. Haven't seen her for a long, long time. It feels like, I think she's played maybe one tournament since Australia. So, let's see if she can use that form again. Tomo's been good, also Jabor as well. So, this is an interesting part of the draw. I think the seeds will progress, though, in this part. Bottom half of the draw, the top half, or the top of the bottom half. Number five seed, Bodosa. She gets a buy on the first round. She'll take on either Sigmund or Sigmund or a qualifier in the second round. Then we've got Puttensever versus the wild card, Shunk. Winner of that match takes on the number 30th seed, Vondrusava in the second round. Vondrusava, Bodosa, third round, could be fun. That's a fun matchup. Then we've got Mertens, the number 20 seed. She'll take on either the wild card, Peruvatova, who is the sensation, the teenage sensation that everyone keeps pumping up. We'll see how she does. She takes on Covenant in the first round. Then we've got Alexandreva taking on Polini. Winner of that match takes on the number 12 seed, Victoria, as Orenka. So, as Orenka versus Bodosa, which was the Indian most final last year, that could be a fourth round in this one. Very interesting to see how that one plays out, especially Bodosa, who's in some good form right now. Next section of the draw, we've got the number 16 seed, Pagulla, taking on either Udvadi or Stevens. We're going at it in the first round, after she gets a buy in the first round. Then we've got Rusei versus Condru. We've got Rusei versus Condru. Winner of that match takes on the number 17 seed, Rabakana in the second round. Then we've got Kiz, the 26th seed. She awaits the winner of Kennen. We get the wild card, taking on Kalanina. Then we've got Maya versus Diaz. Winner of that match takes on the number four seed, Maria Sakari. So Maria Sakari, fresh off that final at Indian Wells today. She is, I mean, she's in a tough draw. Kiz is not easy in that, maybe in the third round, Rabakana, she just had to play her in the fourth round. She played in the quarter finals here at Indian Wells. So we'll see if she has to play her again and then Bodosa in the quarter finals, a rematch of the semi-finals of this week's Indian Wells. So Sakari's gonna have to beat a lot of familiar faces to get through, but she's got the confidence of beating them already, so maybe she can keep going. Mugger Ruth, the number seven seed. She takes on a qualifier in the second round because we've got two qualities going at it in the first round. Then we've got Boral taking on another qualifier. Winner of that match takes on the number 28 seed, Kovitava, in the second round. We've got the number 21 seed, Kudamatova. She gets a buy in the first round, of course. Winner of that, she'll take on the winner of a qualifier versus Kachoba. We're going out in the first round and this time over takes on Rodgers. Winner of that match takes on the number 10 seed, Osta Penko, who was very disappointing at Indian Wells last week and it's going to be fun. I don't know who's going to win that one against, even Rodgers versus Osta Penko, it's still fun. And this time over Osta Penko, still fun. I don't know who's going to win those. This part of the draw is open, pretty wide open. I think Kudamatova is in the best form, but that doesn't really mean anything because Miami Indian Wells are totally different events in terms of court speed and conditions. So just because you played well last week, it might not translate onto the faster Miami surface. And the bottom section of the draw, the number 14 seed, Goff, takes on either Kruger or a qualifier in the second round. Then you've got Geng versus Towson. Winner of that takes on Castella, the 24th seed in the second round. Then you've got the 29th seed, Samsonova. She takes on either the wild card, Iala or Bregel in the second round. Then we've got a qualifier taking on Golubic. Winner of that match takes on the number two seed and Indian Wells champion, Igor Svonsek. Look, Svonsek. I mean, it's hard to go past her in this tournament. She's going to be the favorite. I think no doubt about it, but can she back it up? I mean, can she go back to back over four weeks of playing tennis? It's a lot of tennis. Can she maintain her level over the next two weeks and just keep doing what she's been doing over the last few weeks? So it's not going to be easy. For me, the bottom section of the draw is stacked. I think the bottom section is where the winner comes from. Before we get back to the video, let me tell you about PlayYourCourt. We've teamed up with them this year and they're a great service. You've probably seen some of their ads here and there around the internet. They're actually a great service for if you are a tennis player and you want to actually learn how to play tennis, you can get coaching from them anywhere in the U.S. So if you're just looking for somebody to have a hit with, that's one of the pet peeves I have with tennis is that it's hard to find a hitting partner unless you want to hit against the brick walls. So we've teamed up with them. If you use our link down below, PlayYourCourt.com slash Tennisalk, you'll get 50% off your membership. So go check it out. It's a great resource. All right, now let's get back to the video. You think hard hitter in Miami, you know, maybe it's going to be a hard hitter. Maybe it's going to be, maybe Sabalenka comes good. Maybe Konsebate, you know, she doesn't mind playing on the fast indoor surfaces. Maybe she can translate that in Miami. Maybe Sakari, she played well here last year in Miami. So, all Ken Shriyantse go back to back, which would be incredible if she does. So there you go, Miami draw. Woo. Interesting to see how it plays out. We're going to be watching it, obviously. Obviously, we're watching it. Yeah, it'll be, could you go for the three in a row Shriyantse? That's the big thing. She's got a massive win streak. She is doing a wrapper.
