Welcome to Tennis Elbow, the cavalcade that looks aback on the anniversary that was in the apple of tennis. This week, Charles Blouin-Gascon previews the 2017 BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global.
["3282.48"]ATP Grand Slam Roland Garros 2017 Draw Prediction | roland garros draw 2017Welcome to Singapore for the better draw in women’s tennis.
Well let’s be added absolute and absolutely say it all out loud: acceptable to Singapore for the 2017 BNP Paribas WTA Finals presented by SC Global. Ouf. What a mouthful, right? Doesn’t absolutely fit on the banderole up above.
So yeah, the anniversary clash started over the weekend in Singapore, and it’s affectionate of a big deal. (Though factually, with six added contest still up ahead, this anniversary accident isn’t absolutely aftermost on the WTA agenda but let’s discount that.)
Anyway, we digress. Acceptable to Singapore, yes. We apperceive who the eight women aggressive are this week, and in which two groups they were drawn, now let’s see if we can appraise who should be advised favourites and who ability be aloof blessed to be there.
["3282.48"]WTA Grand Slam Roland Garros 2017 Draw Prediction | roland garros draw 2017The Apple No. 1 player: Simona Halep
Congrats to Simona Halep for assuredly accomplishing what best seemed to accept advancing for her for some time now, namely to become the new Apple No. 1. Don’t be one of those who say Halep somehow doesn’t deserve the baronial as she still hasn’t won a Grand Slam title. There accept abandoned been 25 women ranked as the greatest amateur in the world, including Halep. When you put it like that, who cares about a Grand Slam?
Caroline Wozniacki & Elina Svitolina: Caroline Wozniacki, Elina Svitolina
Caroline Wozniacki and Elina Svitolina are no slouch and could apparently go appealing far in Singapore, if not win the affair outright, but it would apparently be somewhat surprising, right? They both contour as acceptable third or additional fiddles, in some order, in this Red Group.
["3282.48"]ATP Grand Slam Roland Garros 2017 Draw Prediction | roland garros draw 2017The ambitious favourite: Karolina Pliskova
Maybe third berry Karolina Pliskova, with three bout titles and 51 wins in 67 matches in 2017, should be advised favourite in the White Group? The 25-year-old has been conceivably the best amateur on the WTA this division and, aloof as importantly, the draw bankrupt her way: Pliskova is a accumulated 10-3 now adjoin her three opponents in the annular robin, with a 6-2 adjoin Garbine Muguruza alone. Head-to-head doesn’t necessarily beggarly everything, no, but it does beggarly something.
The aphotic horse: Garbine Muguruza
That said, if it’s not Pliskova, we’ll go and cycle with Muguruza, the WTA amateur of the year. By and large, the Spaniard tends to comedy her best tennis on the better stages and what could be bigger than a showdown with Halep over who finishes as the anniversary No. 1 amateur in the world?
["959.33"]French Open draw revealed - The Grandstand | roland garros draw 2017The Happy-to-be-here: Venus Williams, Caroline Garcia
At 37, and with what she’s endured over the years, Venus Williams is acceptable actually aloof blessed to be in Singapore. Oh, she’ll attempt and do her best, etc., but yeah win or lose apparently won’t change all that much. Caroline Garcia was aftermost to authorize for this clash afterwards what’s been by far the best year of her career: three years ago, the French amateur accomplished ranked at No. 38, two years ago at No. 35 and a year ago, at No. 23. She’s a accumulated 2-5 adjoin her Red Group opponents. It’s fine.
The youngster: Jelena Ostapenko
At this point, with a Roland-Garros appellation and the Best Improved Amateur title, Jelena Ostapenko’s 2017 division was a success behindhand of whatever abroad ability come. If that all sounds actual agnate to the class above, able-bodied you’re not wrong—but Ostapenko is 20 years old, still actual young, so she’s in a class of her own.
