My girl Zeynep ( that is also my niece's name) is going to play against the player with the most beautiful eyes in Kalinskaya. No losers there. That's the depth of my analyses for that match up . Sorry for getting too technical...;)

Matches
Friday 6th March,
Most of the top seeds begin their IW campaign in their first round matches,

Sabalenka No 1 returns for the first time since the AO ( Sabalenka chose to bypass the Middle East swing in February)
Sabalenka v Japan's Himeno Sakatsume, I doubt she will have much trouble
Young Canadian Victoria Mboko enters the tournament as a Top Ten seed against Kimberley Birrell.
Coco Gauff (4) vs Rakhimova, needs to have a good run at IW after a poor display of form in the Middle East.
Anisimova (6) vs Blinkova
Paolini (7) another player whose form so far in 2026 has been sub par vs Potapova

Other seeds in action,
Alexandrova (11), Noskova (14), Osaka (16), Tauson (17), Jovic (18), Shnaider (21), Kalinskaya (23), Raducanu (25), Joint (29) Xinyu Wang (30), Eala (31).

Results of matches Friday 6th March
Top seeds moved through, though Gauff (4) and Paolini need (7) need to improve on their UFE count and DFs for their next match, better to win ugly than to be defeated in the 1st round.
Sabalenka (1) who is wearing and playing with that 'massive engagement ring on her hand' madness ! Anisimova (6), Noskova (14) Mboko (10), Osaka (16), Kalinskaya (23), Raducanu (25) Tauson (17) moved through.

Seeds that lost,
Alexandrova (11), Shnaider (21), Jovic (18), Joint (29), X.Wang (30)
