 So the biggest tournament since the US Open coming up next week, Guadalajara in Mexico. It's a WTair 1000 event. It's actually a new 1000 event, only a couple of years old now, the second edition this year. We have some big names playing, but we have a lot of players that are not playing this event, maybe because of fatigue from the US Open. Let's go have a look at who's not playing. Some huge names not playing, starting with Paola, but also she's not playing for the rest of the year. Cocoa Goff also pulling out of this one, of course just won the US Open, so maybe no surprise there. Jessica Bagoola is not playing the defending champion, which is a little strange that she wouldn't want to come and defend her title here. Egas Fiontek, she's pulled out, she needs some more rest after a long, long season so far. And Alina Rabakina, the latest to withdraw from the tournament. No reason why she's withdrawing, but I guess same as everybody else, maybe just wants some extra break after the US Open. And of course, with the Asian Swing coming up, maybe that's another reason why she's looking forward to that instead. Okay, so let's have a look at the draw here. We have 16 seeds in this one, and the top eight seeds get a buy in the first round. Onceya Burr, she is the number one seed for this tournament, she gets a buy in the first round. She would take on either Parks or Davis in the second round. Then you've got to qualify versus Trevison, winner of that would take on either Chirico or the number 15 seed Pallini in the second round. Then you've got to Dajmire, the number nine seed versus Daniel Collins, what a first round that's going to be. Collins in a little bit of form and a Dajmire, we know how good she can be, so that's a blockbuster first round there. Winner of that would take on either Dolhide or Stearns in the second round. Then you've got Osorio taking on Freya, winner of that would take on the number eight seed, Alexandrova, who gets a buy in the first round, so interesting matchups of course without the big, huge names. You know, no Sabalenka, no Sviantec, no Goff, Pagula, Rabakina, Jabura is the top seed, so it is a little bit different, but still, Dajmire, Collins, Jabura of course, Alexandrova can be in good form as well. She's been pretty good at times this year, so it is an interesting little section of the draw there. Next section of the draw, we've got the number four seed Madison Keyes coming off the semi-files of the US Open, gets a buy in the first round here. She'll take on the winner of Navarro, who's taken on a qualifier in that first round. Then you've got Fernandez taking on another qualifier, winner of that would take on either Vickmeier or the number 13 seed, Mertens in the second round. Then you've got the 12 seed Kalanina taking on a qualifier, winner of that would take on either Kennan or another qualifier, so a lot of qualities in this section of the draw. Then you've got Kostruc versus Fung, winner of that would take on the number six seed, OstaPenko in the second round. This is probably the most stacked part of the draw. Of course, OstaPenko in some good form beating Sviantec a couple weeks ago at the US Open. We've got Keyes who made the semi-files of the US Open, Fernandez has been good, Mertens, Kennan, all players that should be watching out for. This could be the hardest section of the draw and of course this section will take on the Jaburse section, so we could be getting Jabur versus Keyes if we're going to go by the big names. We could be going Jabur versus OstaPenko if we want to go a little bit more with something a little different or maybe even more different. We could be going Hadajmeier versus Keyes or even Hadajmeier versus OstaPenko. This does feel like a bit of a random masters with not many players in the draw in that good of a form. Maybe Keyes being the exception in OstaPenko, but bottom half of the draw now. We've got Kudamatova, the 7th seed. She gets a buy in the first round. She'll take on either Zara Zuhar or the wild card Bouchard who's coming into this one. Then you've got Qualifier versus Jastramska. Winner of that will take on either Montgomery or the number 10 seed as a ranker in the second round. Then you've got the 16th seed. Pushkiver taking on a Qualifier. Winner of that will take on either Baptist or Fernandez-Oliveres in the second round. Then you've got Sastavich versus Russe. Winner of that will take on the number 3 seed. Garcia in the second round. Garcia, of course, not in great form this season. Kudamatova has had her moments. Interesting section. You know, Pushkiver as a ranker. Maybe they could surprise in this section. Sastavich can do damage. So this section's really, really open and maybe produces a bit of a surprise. And then the bottom section of the draw. We've got the number 5 seed. Benchich gets a buy in the first round. She'll take on the winner of Tomanovic or Townsend in the second round. Great first round there. Then you've got Steven taking on a Qualifier. Winner of that will take on either Arango or the number 11 seed Potipova in the second round. Then you've got the number 14 seed. Sharif taking on Georgie. Very fun first round. Winner of that will take on either Majanovic or Buxa in the second round. Then you've got Hunter versus Shemenovic. Winner of that will take on the number 2 seed. Maria Sakri, who made the final here last year. So again, pretty wide open. You know, Benchich, Sakri being the two big names. You know, Stevens has been good at times. You know, Townsend could be good. But we know what Tomanovic can do. Even Georgie could maybe surprise. And Potipova has been in some form too. So, interesting section of the draw. Of course, this section takes on the Garcia section. So, it could be Sakri Garcia. Very unlikely to happen. But it could happen this year. Both of those players have not been great. Or it could be Sakri taking on Kudamatova. If we're going to go by some different names. Maybe even Sakri versus Azarenka. We could be going Benchich. If you want to replace Sakri, Benchich without Azarenka. Benchich versus Garcia. Maybe even Benchich versus Kudamatova. But again, it's so random because we don't have those solid names that we're so used to seeing this year playing this event. So, anything could really happen. And anybody can win this. I don't think it's just one of the top 10 players that could win this. Anybody in this draw could win this event. So, you have it. Guadalajara. Not the same without the big names. You know, Noshfi Antek. No Sabalenka. No Rabakina. Goff's not there. Pagula's not there. Even, you know, some players like Mukavra and Vondrusava are not playing. So, without them, it even looks a little bit worse. But, I mean, look, Jabur's there. Sakri's there. Who haven't been having the greatest of seasons. I know Jaburha did make the women of final. But on the hard courts, hasn't really been the same. You know, Garcia's had a terrible year. Is this the time where she finally regroups and can get a good late season run to get to the finals potentially? Uh, Osta Panko's been okay. Keys are probably the most informed player in the draw. Is she gonna win here in Guadalajara? But, let me know down in the comments below. Who is gonna win this one? And how do you think this tournament's gonna be? Do you think it's gonna be as exciting as previous Masters? But there it is. Guadalajara draws out now. Not the same as what we're used to seeing at this level this year.
