2017 Indian Wells Predictions - Women's

I previewed this new feature to my Twitter followers a few weeks ago, but now I'm releasing it to the wild, my new ELO based tournament simulator, with predictions as to how likely each player is to get to each round. So, here we go!

But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • As you would expect, Angelique Kerber is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 12.2% chance of winning the whole thing, with Karolina Pliskova next at 9.81%. The 3rd most likely is Johanna Konta with 9.15% and Elina Svitolina 4th with 8.7%
  • Kiki Bertens has a really easy draw compared to other players with a similar ELO rating. I have her as the 48th most likely winner, while she is only the 65th highest ranked player here.
  • On the other hand, Mona Barthel and Lucie Safarova have tough draws. They are the 74th and 38th most likely winners, but they are the 64th and 28th highest ranked players competing.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Peng Shuai, as she's the 78th most likely player to progress to round 2, but she's ranked 36th of the competitors. 
  • Madison Brengle got the easiest 1st round draw, as she's the 42nd most likely player to advance to round 2, while she's the 81st highest ranked competitor here.
Here's the full table. Want to be the 1st to hear of new updates: Follow @tennis_elo on Twitter.
