Not big surprises in the women’s draw. The most notable fact is Serena playing Azarenka in the semifinals. In the other matches there will be an interesting Kvitova-Schiavone first round.
Upcoming players
McHale has a decent first round to then clash with Sara Errani in the 2nd. Camilla Giorgi has an good draw to play Bartoli in the 3rd round. Sloane Stephens may play Kvitova in the 3rd round. Heather Watson may play Barthel in the 2nd round and Radwanska in the 3rd. Laura Robson and Oudin will clash in the first round and the winner will take on Kvitova (or Schiavone in cas of an upset).
