  • Karolina Pliskova is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 12.12% chance of winning the whole thing, with Simona Halep next at 11.57%. The 3rd most likely is Petra Kvitova with 9.47% and Elina Svitolina 4th with 7.99%
  • Jennifer Brady has a really easy draw compared to other players with a similar ELO rating. I have her as the 103rd most likely winner, while she is only the 116th highest ranked player here.
  • On the other hand, Timea Babos and Anna Blinkova have tough draws. They are the 111th and 101st most likely winners, but they are the 94th and 84th highest ranked players competing.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Ashleigh Barty, as she's the 115th most likely player to progress to round 2, but she's ranked 30th of the competitors. 
  • Jennifer Brady also got the easiest 1st round draw, as she's the 49th most likely player to advance to round 2, while she's the 116th highest ranked competitor here.
