Resolved: Withdraws before playing
Noskova did not enter the main draw published by the WTA for the Mubadala DC Open and played no match in Washington, the outcome the verification rule assigns to a withdrawal before the first match.

How this resolves
The week-shape market resolves on the same WTA draw sheet; if Noskova withdraws before her first main-draw match it resolves to 'Withdraws before playing', with the second WTA fallback being the tournament page's published champion and finalist.

We looked at the last six women who won their first Grand Slam title, and at their first match at their next event. Three won it and three did not. One of the three who did not win never got on court at all.
