 Alright, so the draw has just come out for the guitar open is now a 1,000 event permanently It's been upgraded from a 500 event who used to alternate with Dubai with 1,000 status now It's gonna be a 1,000 event alongside Dubai next week, which is also 1,000 event But let's go to the players that are not playing because we have some big names that are not playing the first 1,000 event of the year All right, so we have Pagula. She pulled out. She has I think a neck problem mukava Still injured pulled out of this event with a wrist injury still that she's been carrying since the US Open Sabalenka, she pulled out as well more so because of fatigue or maybe just some wants to rest for the next few weeks Just to get you know, she won the issue and open she just wants to chill and another player. It's Vettelina She's not there either so she is also withdrawn from the event But let's go to the top of the draw 16 seeds in this one top eight seeds get a buy in the first round Egas Fiontech she gets by in the first round She'll take on the winner of Castella or Stevens in the second round Then you got two qualifiers going at it winner of that match will take on either another qualifier or Alexandrova in the second round so that little section of the draw could be an interesting section But I think manageable first Fiontech next section of the draw We've got a dad's Maya the number 10 seed taken on Wong winner of that will take on either a qualifier or as a renka Then you got Rodicano take on a Kalanina winner of that will take on the number eight seed Osta Panko in the second round so Panko as Fiontech quarter final potentially on the cards the worst quarter final matchup You could ask for if you're a Fiontech fan of course, Osta Panko was a nightmare She's also in form, but there are some hurdles for Panko So maybe a dad's Maya gets through maybe as a renka gets through because as a renka remember It's never lost to us to Panko and a dad's Maya is playing really well right now All right next quarter the draw we've got on stupor number four seed She gets a buy in the first round should take on the winner of Sharenko or Sonmez in the second round Then we got Ruth's taken on Martich winner that will take on either Osaka the number 15 seed Garcia and again that match is a fire matchup But we just saw it we saw it in Australia It was a fire matchup Garcia played amazing Osaka just can't take a trick. All right next section of the draw We've got Krajikova the number nine seed taken on Potapova winner of that will take on either Kalan Skyar or Pushkova in the second round then you got a qualifier taken on Noskova winner of that will take on the number seven seed Sakuri in the second round this section is kind of stacked because of course Kalan Skyar played well in Australia Sakuri is the high seed Krajikova also a high seed Noskova like Kalan Skyar played well in Australia Potapova and Pushkova are no slashes either So this section is really stacked and I don't know who's gonna get out of this section To play probably possibly to play against Jabur in the quarter finals So we start at the top of the draw We've got Shveontek in the semi-finals though possibly Shveontek taken on Jabur Shveontek taken on Sakuri What if you think Panko can get through might be Panko taken on Jabur or Panko taken on Sakuri in that semi-final If you want to dream a little bigger, maybe you could be Shveontek versus Osaka I mean if you want to dream big bottom half of the draw now We've got Zheng the number five seed gets by in the first round winner That will take on either a qualifier or Lynette in the second round then you've got a qualified taken on Brosa Winner that will take on either Fernandez or the number 12 seed Samsonova in the second round great first round there Samsonova is playing really well this week Fernandez. I mean we know how good she can be next section We've got Navarro the number 16 seed taking on Palini winner That will take on either Stearns or Mertens in the second round Then you got Gracheva taken on Zoo winner of that will take on the number three seed Alina Rabakina and I got to be honest chat Rabakina finally gets a nice draw Usually it's Rabakina who gets screwed over in these events But she has the nice draw and it's good to see so she you know She should make it through this draw and play possibly Zheng in a quarter-final Unless something crazy happens like somebody you know pops up and beats her But I would expect Rabakina to get through this and the way she's playing this week You'd expect her to get through the quarter-finals at least bottom part of the draw now You've got Vondrusova the number six seed gets by in the first round winner That would take on either a qualifier or Maria in the second round Then you got Dolahide taken on Kostruc winner of that will take on either Pavlija Cenkava Or the number 11 seed Kazakina in the second round Bottom section of the draw the bottom of the bottom quarter of the draw Kudomitobi number 13 seed gets a qualifier in the first round Winner of that will take on either Buskova or Kennan in the second round Then you got Vekish taken on Sinia Koba winner of that will take on the number two seed Goff in the second round That's an interesting one Goff you know second seed because Sabalinka pulled out So probably one of the biggest seed she's had since being in the top of the game Kennan's tough, you know, but I think a manageable draw for Goff should get through And possibly play against Kazakina or Kostruc Remember Goff Kostruc was an epic match a long match at the Australian Open in the quarters A couple of weeks ago and possibly in a semi-final down the bottom half of the draw You could be getting Rabakina taken on Goff Great match up only seen it once would love to see it again Or if you want to go with the players that are in a little bit more form You could go with Zhang and Goff Could be a semi-final you could see there in this tournament If you want to go with Rabakina still you could go with Rabakina taking on Maybe Vondrusova if she comes good Rabakina could take on Kazakina Who's playing well this week as well or it could be Zhang taking on Kazakina If you want to go with some form as well But man what a wild draw and look I'm going to be honest I mean there's a couple of sections there that are really really tough But players like Sacri of course Fionn takes got some tricky players as well But I wouldn't say that the top four have a really tough draw Jabur has got an injury worry that's something different But Goff, Rabakina and Fionn take they should all be able to get through the first few days And then once the quarterfinals hit that's when it's supposed to be hard anyway But let me know who's going to win chat Who is going to win in Doha Man what an event it's a 1000 event It's a start of the desert double that's coming up over the next couple of weeks
