Any thoughts who will win it?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, there were upsets all over the women&#8217;s draw and although the two top seeds are still with us until today, half of them have already gone!\u201d said Maria Esther.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is hard to tell [who might win] and, rather surprisingly, Johanna Konta is now the bookies\u2019 favourite to win the title!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is the sixth seed and, I think, still has some ways to go to achieve that. I\u2019d be surprised if she is in the final on Saturday but you never know these days and she is playing really well.
