Simona Halep is about to start her Australian Open campaign where she is seeded no.1, but she has to go through a rather tricky draw.

Ironically, the Romanian sensation will face Kaia Kanepi that surprised her in the 1st round of the last US Open after playing a tennis out of this world. Later on, from the 3rd round, every match could be a slam final.

Last year Simona was the runner-up in Melbourne where she lost in the final against Caroline Wozniacki after an amazing run.

Simona Halep’s projected path

R1 – Kanepi
R2 – Kenin
R3 – Venus Williams
R4 – Serena Williams
1/4 – Pliskova
1/2 – Osaka
Fin – Kerber

That’s a tough one!
