However, Medvedev stands as the early favorite in this event due to his consistent showing in the past tournaments. The Russian will be challenged by a bunch of young up-and-comers in Stefanos Tsitsipas, Akexander Zverev, and Andrey Rublev. On the women’s side, Barty has a very good chance of defending her crown successfully but she will have tough competition ahead in the likes of Osaka, Halep, Kenin, Svitolina, Pliskova, Williams, and other veteran netters taking part in the event. It will be difficult to bet on an early favorite on the women’s side because anyone can have a good two weeks and win the title. |
