Take one. Well done. Hi, my name is Jasmine Paolini and I'm a friend of the show. Wow, Jasmine. Play.
Good afternoon, good evening, good morning, whatever time it is in the world, wherever you are tuning in from. The women's draw on the singles side is unfolding as we speak. Join us for the draw. Okay, I'm just gonna go on the Wimbledon website right now, and I've gotcha. So I'm gonna be giving you a reveal of the draw as it occurs. So do let me know your thoughts. I can see is it Jovic against, ah, Jovic Bencic is a, is a court, is a fourth round. Jovic Bencic. What about some of the first rounds? Let me hone in on that. So here we go. Okay. Here's some possible round threes. Thanks to Jose Morgado. We've got potentially Eala against Swiatek is a possible round three. Any other particularly interesting revelations? Oh, yes, Sabalenka Radukanu as well is a potential round three, which of course will be a repeat of last year. I think this is where the seeds match up into the third round. So yes, Alex Iaolo, Igor Swiatek is a potential third round. Elise Mertens against Elena Rabakina is a potential third round. Hi, everyone. What about first rounds? That's what I'm keen on. I want to know first rounds. I'm not so worried about projections right now. A potential round of 16s here as well. Sabalenka, Osaka again. Yeah, Swiatek, if she beats Eala Paolini, but Paolini's form right now is pretty wretched for 2026 I thought that maybe things would get better for Jasmine as they entered the clay season, but no. Okay, here's some potential quarterfinals proceeding. So obviously, you got Sabalenka and Rabakhan on opposite side of the draw. Am I right in thinking that Swiatek and Rabakhan are on the same side of the draw? And so therefore, Swiatek versus Rabakhan is a potential semifinals. So am I right, Jake, in that they've not done the first round, that they've just started this way around and gone backwards? Because that's weird.
Yeah, well, that is weird. To me, it's weird. Anyway, yeah, I don't know why they're not going. Just give us the first round, yeah? Let's see who you're playing in the first round. Oh, here comes some first rounds. So Sinniakova against Zheng. Wow, that's a very intriguing first round.
Hopefully, you can hear this okay. So yes, Tremska.
Yes, for them to get ito.
This play is... Okay, Porta Povabusa's Monero.
Pamela Vardy, I'm not quite sure.
Okay, Ostapenko, Vardukanu with a possible round two. That's if Vardukanu is fit. We've obviously got some doubts regarding her fitness. Okay, Tatiana Maria, Putin Saver, first round.
Ivijovic, oh goodness me, please get these.
The Empire, there you go, it's Fran Jones.
Sun Maze against Annalay. Clearly you.
Sorry.
Vonda and against Sierra.
Cool patch, Cocoa Goth, I mean.
Okay.
Kruger against Bekich.
Ooh, Emma Navarro against Paolo Badosa.
That's a tricky one to pronounce.
Sorry.
Start of the saver again. Blink of an.
Okay, part of the last cut, against Kostiuk.
Howling in Montgomery, okay. It's all that.
Can you hear all these, by the way, people? Okay, Sakari is gonna be playing Clare Towson, round one. Oh, here we go, Eala. Oh, that's a nice draw for her. She'll be playing Monato Sarasua. And here comes Serena Williams. Maya Joint, okay?
Taylor Townsend, okay.
Can you hear all this?
Okay, so I have a bailag against. Kimberley Burwell.
