2012 Olympics ladies draw: Azarenka blessed, Serena unlucky

And here we are with the ladies draw where everything can happen.

1st Quarter – Azarenza

Nice life for Vika that has a clear path till the semis. Actually it is cery difficult to understand who can hinder her path till the last 4. The only tough opponent in the quarters could be Venus Williams that is not playing her best tennis. Actually, Venus might be upset in the 1sr round by Sara Errani that is not a grass specialist, but is full of confidence. Vika should play Serena in the semis to avenge her loss at the recent Wimbledon semifinal  – 6-3 7-6 (6)

Quarter prediction: Azarenka – Venus Williams

2nd Quarter – Serena Williams

Serena had a horrible draw. In the first round she has to play former world no.1 Jelena Jankovic that is not at her best (at all)… but still… it is not a good first round match. Then she might play Mona Barthel that is a completely unpredictable player with her huge service. Then it would be the time to play an always dangerous Vera Zvonareva. In the quarters Serena may play either Li Na or Caroline Wozniacki. Men could favour Hantuchova for the quarters after her interesting appearance at the ESPN’s body issue (can’t complain about that!).

Quarter prediction: Serena – Wozniacki

3rd Quarter – Sharapova

Maria had a “fair” draw. There is some danger in the 2nd round where she might play tricky Petra Martic. Then she could play an inspired Shvedova to clash in the quarters with either Sam Stosur or Kim Clijsters that may clash in the second round.

Quarter prediction: Sharapova – Stosur

4th Quarter – Radwanska

Bad start for Agnieszka as she has to play Gorgeous Goerges in the first round. Then after possible playing Kirilinko in the 3rd ground she gets the toughest quarter: Petra Kvitova (the 2011 Wimbledon champion).

Quarter prediction: Radwanska – Kvitova

The heat is on!
