  • Ashleigh Barty is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 15.62% chance of winning the whole thing, with Karolina Pliskova next at 11.58%. The 3rd most likely is Serena Williams with 8.3% and Simona Halep 4th with 7.99%
  • Marie Bouzkova has a really easy draw compared to other players with a similar ELO rating. I have her as the 107th most likely winner, while she is only the 123rd highest ranked player here.
  • On the other hand, Zheng Saisai has a tough draw. She is the 116th most likely winner, but she is the 96th highest ranked player competing.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Aliaksandra Sasnovich, as she's the 117th most likely player to progress to round 2, but she's ranked 44th of the competitors. 
  • Taylor Townsend got the easiest 1st round draw, as she's the 44th most likely player to advance to round 2, while she's the 99th highest ranked competitor here.
