Non-GB players you follow
(Preview)
Obviously, this board is focused on GB players but out of curiosity, do you follow other players outside of GB and if so, who are they? I think there are a few other fans of Garbiñe Muguruza on here, I also like Kerber, Naomi Osaka, Kvitova, Ostapenko and Sloane Stephens. I'm keeping an eye on players lik...

Seedings

Wildcards are discussed on another thread, which generates as much heat as light. Seedings bother me more.

There were only two non-Russians in the 32 place qualifying draw, too (an Iranian & a Ukranian) The doubles draw is unsurprisingly also all-...
