Maria Sharapova and Simona Halep are on an early collision path in Cincinnati. The Russian beauty had a tough draw to possibly play Cornet in her opener, then Cibulkova, Halep and then either Kvitova or Bouchard in the semifinal.
Genie Bouchard will try to bounce back from her terrible performance in Montreal where she has lost 6-0 2-6 6-0 to world no. 113 Shelby Rogers that has already failed to qualify for Cincinnati.
Serena had a great draw to possibly play Stosur, Penetta, Jankovic and then either Radwanska or Kerber in the semifinal.
The defending champion is Vika Azarenka that last year she defeated Serena in an epic final 2-6 6-2 7-6 (6).See article.
This are the possible quarters
