Fantastic draws for Raducanu. Decent for the other British women!!



Raducanu gets qualifier in round 1, followed by Kudermetova (24) in round 2 and then Rybakina (9) in round 3.



Kartal gets Haddad Maia (18), followed by Boisson/Golubic and then Svitolina (12)



Boulter gets Kostyuk (27), followed by Sonmez/qualifier and then Keys (6)



Only 4 qualifier spots are against seeds and none higher than 16th, though Maya Joint is also a tough prospect

Emma faces a qualifier, with potentially Kudermetova [24] in the second round and Rybakina[9] in the third round.
Katie faces Kostyuk [27] in the first round, with Keys [6] potentially in the third round
Sonay face Haddad Maia [18] in the first round, with Svitolina [12] potentially in the third round

Edit: - beaten to the post by Mr T

Considering I think Emma is our only real prospect in this tournament, the draw is great. Sonay may not agree.

 

Similarly for the men. Great for Jack. Tough for the others.

That is not a fantastic draw for Emma!
Rybakina r3
Paolini in r4
And then Sabakenka!

And compared to the seedings we were hoping she'd get. Kessler (32) ends up with Linette then Vondousova before Paolini.
I think they're about equal in difficulty.

Fernandez, (31) would get a qualifier before Bouzkova and then Sabalenka (1), which is probably tougher.

Yastamenska (30) gets a qualifier before Azarenka and then Pegula (4).

I'd argue that Emma that none of them will reach round 4, but Emma has the lowest ranked round 3 opponent.

I think Osaka (23) is the lowest seed to have an "easier" path than Emma to round 4.

The reality is, as a non seed, Emma needs to get to round 3 to be "profitable" and round 4 would be fantastic.

And she has a very good shot at getting to round 3, and in reality a decent at round 4. There's no guarantee that Rybakina makes it to round 3, though Wildcard, Bronzetti doesn't shout problems.

It looks as if Emma missed seeding by one place, Kessler seed 32 is immediately above Emma in the rankings. 

Emma beat Kudermetova earlier this year. She got hammered by Rybakina but that was in Sydney in 2022 when she was trying to adjust to fame and riches and all that brought with it.

Haddad Maia, like Sonay, hasn't won a match since Wimbledon. There are tougher seeds to face. And Sonay won 62 61 at Indian Wells.

Rybakina's 1st round WC opponent is a 16 year old junior number 1.

 Exactly right - Emma has said her aim is to get seeded for Australia and this is a great chance to move up the rankings.

 Correction Yastremska plays Pavlyuchenkova in the first round. Winner  plays Azarenka or a qualifier.

 Agree. Even a qualifier in round 1 could be tricky depending on who she draws. Kudermetova in round 2 will be difficult as she is playing really quite well now and has the game to make life very difficult for Emma, especially if she serves well.  Honestly can't see Emma beating Rybakina even though she's been inconsistent this year.

Sonay has a decent shot as Haddad Maia is in terrible form. Likewise Katie Boulter is playing someone in poor form and possibly carrying an injury. 

All could get to round 3 but anything further would be a bonus.

 Emma lost in R1 last year so surely any win is profitable?
