I find it strange that S. Williams, V.Williams, V. Azarenka, and M. Sharapova are all in the same half of the draw.
The top half of the draw had the most talent. In the bottom half of the draw, the higher seeds lost. Azarenka was injured and fell down in the rankings, she is playing like a top 10 players, but her ranking is 24th. After the top 32 are seeded, the its the luck of the draw where the remaining players are placed.
