 Wow! Thats a shock! Not entirely a surprise, but certainly a shock! 

 Wow gutting. I love Ash and will miss following her, but good on her for doing what's right for her.

If Iga wins one match, she will be number 1. Badosa needs the title.

I see Halep has withdrawn following her injury at IW, so that opens Emma's section up a little bit. If she were to get past Siniakova then it would be either Saville/Gavrilova or Tan in R3. One match at a time of course, and she didn't get past Saville the last time they met the other month, but hopefully an opportunity to get something going.

It does seem so strange going on to the likes of live-tennis.eu or OER and seeing Barty's name already gone, but fair play for removing herself so quickly so that the next in line know where they stand. It's almost certainly going to be Iga, if the permutations were the other way round then it would have been far more of a race, but Iga has had a great start to the year and kind of did look to be the obvious candidate to take over at this stage if Barty were to continue to play a reduced schedule, or indeed retire. It's pretty amazing / surreal for Badosa to even be in the #1 conversation and have permutations outlined (even if extremely unlikely), considering this time last year she was leaving Miami and heading to Charleston ranked #71 and just a few places off her pretty modest then career high.

Emma's been a bit wasteful on break points. Had several in the two games she didn't break.

Hev playing ok, shame she didn't escape the game at *4-2 after dragging herself back to deuce.

Yep, that section looks like anybody's for the taking, with no real obvious favourite to come through. Pliskova is the top seed but is just back from a hand injury and lost to Kovinic last week.

Not related to Emma at all as it's on the other side of the draw, but Muguruza has also just withdrawn, so the seeds are fair dropping.

Emma doing her slight usual of letting the energy slip to allow her opponent back into the match and take all the momentum. She does make it all difficult for herself.

3-3*

Siniakova painting the baseline. Takes a high quality set 6-4 but again Emma is just not able to maintain intensity for more than a set and a half. The letting her opponent back into it from a set and a break up is becoming a predictable pattern. Had a break point at 4-4* but Siniakova did very well.

 

It feels like Siniakova should pull away now as she's very pumped but you can never really tell.

 

Hev playing well but now in danger *3-4
