Broady made a comeback of sorts but Ankita won the first set 6-3. :D

Broady comes back strongly and bagles Ankita in the second set. :-(

For any of the non-seeded Chinese, the likelihood of drawing a Chinese player is 1/3 * 2/8 + 2/3 * 13/23 = 0.0833 + 0.3768 = 0.46; and for the 2 seeds, the likelihood of drawing a Chinese player is 14/24 = 0.58333.

So total expected value is (1.1667 + 0.46*14)/2 = 3.8
Ran a simulation with 1 million draws (around 2-3 times) taking into account that there were two Chinese seeds. I find that the mean number of pairs is 1.48 (mode=1) and the chances of 5 Chinese pairs is around 70-80 per million. So it is a rare event. Didn't get a single simulation where 6/7/8 pairs occurred. For 4 Chinese seeds, I find that the mean goes down to 1.44 but results are similar.

So you mean there is a chance! (As Jim Carrey would say)

Yes, especially as this has happened for two weeks in a row.

[R2] Ankita Raina (IND, 195) l. Naomi Broady (GBR, 134) 63 06 26

The second set bagle suggests Ankita has trouble sustaining a lead, or perhaps had stamina issues today. Naomi is a tall player, and probably has a big serve (she is ranked in the top-70 in doubles, and won a WTA doubles title recently).

I find that mean to be low and would double check the code.

Just the average of 2 Chinese non-seeds drawing each other should be higher than that.

Yes, will do that!! My low mean surprised me as well but I did not verify your calculation either.

I found the mistake in my code. For some unknown reason my simulation was for 10 Chinese out of 32 and not 16! Now the mean is 3.8 and the probability of 5 pairs is 0.198 and so it is not an extreme event. Apologies for the mess up.

Ankita will be playing the Anning WTA125 next week. IIRC this will be the first time she has secured a direct entry to an WTA125 main draw without needing a wildcard. Let’s hope she draws motivation from our Indian players this week to continue next week :goodluck:

Great, thanks for fixing.

Also good to know that I can still do basic probability :D
