ADD hingis somewhere there!!!

My nightmare quarter is exactly the same as yours!

You can clearly see some "strengths" and some "weaknesses" in each group of seeds (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16). If you add the 17-32 group in there, you could get some real bitch draws from hell!

oh god... remember wimbledon!

The problem is that Justine, Venus and Serena (and Hingis ?) are too low on the ranking.

They are under normal circumstances better than most of the top 10.

Now that would be one horrible horrible quarter! :eek: it doesn't get worse then that!

rikvanlooy, Justine could have been #5 and it still could happen.

Frankly, I think your suggestion sums it up. I think for women's tennis excitement, please put Kim & Justine on opposite sides & Venus & Serena on opposites side. With Sharapova as the floater in one of their draws, that gives us alot to talk about.

Here's mine-

8 Henin-Hardenne
10 V Williams
13 S Williams
2 Clijsters

:

I'd like it !

My nightmare draw wd be :
1 Davenport
13 S.Williams

5 Pierce

1r

part of the draw

13 Serena Williams vs Stosur
Martina Hingis-Krajicek
Peng-Asagoe
21 Ivanovic vs Li Na

29 Zvonareva (if she is 29) vs Doushevina
Dokic-Sprem :o queens of Bikic
Smashova-Llagoster Vives :o that one would never end
2 Clijsters vs Azarenka

Yes, that IS the nightmare quarter, and what about Hingis, Ivanovic and Vaidisova being up there in the mix? :eek: :scared:

On the other hand you could have Sharapova, Schnyder, Dechy (is she playing?) and Schiavone. :tape: :p

Martinez won't play , and if she did, Justine would send her home in 1 hour, this is hardcourts, not clay

bt I'd like a Serena-Srebotnik match (not 1st round tho)

My nightmare draw wd be :
1 Davenport
13 S.Williams
10 V.Williams

just don't want those three to play eachother early.
