 What's going on everybody welcome back to another draw preview and we have the roam open for the WTA and the ATP this week We've gone through the WTA draw for 2021 and we've got some big names playing but some players are pulled out Let's go look at the withdrawals. So having a look at the withdrawal list We have Azarenka. She's pulled out burdens, Jabour, Conservate, Kuznetsova, Rybakina, Vekic And Yastremska has also pulled out for the 2021 roam open Alright taking a look at the top of the draw now And we have 16 seeds in this one and the top eight seeds get a buy in the first round Ash Bharti, the number one seed. She has been great on the clay so far in 2021 She gets a buy in the first round. She would take on the winner of Trevor Sin versus Svedova We're playing in the first round Then we have the two wildcards playing Garcia versus Chocoretto The winner of that plays either Kudamatova or the number 14 seed Mertens and that is a huge first-round match Kudamatova in great form and Mertens beating Simone Halop last week in Madrid Then we have another massive first-round match up between the number nine seed Pliscova and wildcard Venus Williams Definitely keep an eye on that match. The winner of that will play the winner between Kuznetsova and Coco Goff in the second round Then we have Tormo versus Georgie winner of that's going to take on number seven seed Sabalenka So you can see there in the quarterfinals potentially we might have a replay of the Madrid final that is happening in a few hours So this is going to be very exciting We might get Bharti versus Sabalenka yet again on the clay So you got to watch out for both of them Bharti and Sabalenka But also keep an eye on Kudamatova and Mertens because both of them have showed some form on the clay in 2021 as well going to the second quarter of the draw now We have the number four seed Kenan she gets a buy in the first round She'll take on the winner of Geng versus Krajikova in the second round Then we have Makova versus Keys winner of that's going to take on the winner of risk and the 15th seed and French open 2020 champion Egas Fiontech then we have the number 12 seed Mugaruta versus Pavle Cenkava We made the semi-finals of Madrid last week winner of that match is going to play either a qualifier or Sikari in the second round then we have Wong versus Anissa Mova winner of that takes on number five seeds Federlina in the second round and I'm gonna be honest This is probably the most open part of the draw There's a couple of players that are in great form that aren't necessarily the big seeds I'm interested to see though how Kenan does this week after splitting with her coach aka her dad this week And also it's Federlina can she come back from a terrible performance last week, but also it's Fiontech This is gonna be her last chance to get some real form going into her title defense at the French open in two weeks time Bottom half of the draw now. We've got the number six seed on Drescu getting a buy in the first round first time We're gonna see her on the clay in over two years She awaits the winner of Sevastova versus Taikman who are playing in the first round Then we've got two qualifiers playing each other winner of that battle will take on the winner of Lynette versus the number 11 seed Kvitova who's been in a little bit of form as well this week Then we have the number 16 seed Conta taking on Oster Penko winner That's gonna take on either a qualifier or former French open final as Vondra Soba in the second round Then we have Kerber taking on a qualifier winner. That's gonna take on number three seed Samona Halop So some big names in this one like I said at the start This is a massive preview into what we're gonna see probably at the French open You got Halop you got on Drescu definitely keeping an eye on them this week But also Kvitova she lost the body and three tight sets last week in Madrid But she has shown some real good form this year and also made the semi-finals of the French open in 2020 so she is definitely good on the clay bottom section of the draw now We've got the number eight seed Serena Williams. She's back. We haven't seen her for a while She gets a buy in the first round she'll take on the winner of a qualifier versus Potoroska in the second round Then we have Marchage versus Rodgers winner That's gonna take on a qualifier or Benchage in the second round then we got number 13 seed Brady taking on Zhang Winner that's gonna take on either a qualifier or Alexandrova in the second round Then we have another really good matchup in the first round between Kazakina and Pagula both having really good starts to 2021 Winner of that gets to take on number two seed Naomi Osaka who to be honest didn't play great last week in Madrid It seems like the clay is really not her surface but the names to watch out for obviously we're gonna watch out for Osaka and Serena How she gonna look on the clay for the first time in 2021 But also keep an eye on Pagula because she has had some great form in 2021 not only on hard courts But also not too bad on the clay courts as well So keep an eye on that especially if she takes on Osaka in the second round So there it is the Rome open for the WTA for 2021 Let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think's gonna win this tournament? It's very wide open It's a very interesting preview into what we're probably gonna see at the French open all the big names are playing There's no top ten players that aren't playing except for Burton. So it's a huge stacked lineup Let me know down the comments below. Who do you think's gonna win this one? So for a lot of these players This is the last time they're gonna get a chance to get a warm up and get some good form going into the second major of The year and I'm gonna go with Simone to help to win this one She is the defending champion of this tournament.
