But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • Iga Swiatek is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 29.78% chance of winning the whole thing, with Aryna Sabalenka next at 15.89%. The 3rd most likely is Elena Rybakina with 8.8% and Belinda Bencic is the 4th favourite with 5.67%
  • Bencic also has the easiest overall draw, as she is 1.19 percentage points more likely to win the tournament than expected. This comes at the expense of Jessica Pegula, the player with the toughest overall draw, as she is 1.19 percentage points less likely to win the tournament than expected.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Marta Kostyuk, as she's 42.47 percentage points less likely to win than a player of her rank is expected to win. Storm Hunter got the easiest 1st round draw, as she's 32.23 percentage points more likely to make it to round 2 than her ranking would expect.
