This is one of the most unpredictable events in tennis history. There is no favorite and no outsider. Everyone can win it.

Looking at the betting odds, you could bet on 6 out of the 8 players (everyone but Garbine and Simona) and still make money... @Bert

And so the result of the draw

 

[britbox]

Looking at the H2Hs you posted, that's not a good draw for either Halep or Garbine.

Beautiful photos. Caroline looks more mature. I guess that would be normal.
