Comebacks, Upsets and Fan Support
At the BNP Paribas Open, forty-eight WTA singles matches are in the books. Let us take a moment to catch up.
We began with a draw comprised of nine current and former number one players, twelve Grand Slam champions and two Career Slam achievers, Serena and Maria. Of that group, the following women remain; Simona Halep, Venus Williams, Victoria Azarenka, Petra Kvitova, Jelena Ostapenko, Karolina Pliskova, Serena Williams, Angelique Kerber, Caroline Wozniacki, Elena Svitolina and Sloane Stephens. In other words, huge depth remains.
