Predicted Winners in BOLD

Ash Barty (1) vs Karolina Muchova (25) – As of now, I think Barty is headed to the final, but the semifinal will be harder than her quarterfinal round.

Jennifer Brady (22) vs Jessica Pegula – Brady won Lexington in 2020 so I am maybe trying to avoid being too jingoistic about Kentucky, but Pegula’s game seems to have a gear that Brady’s lack.
