That's ridiculous.

Looking forward to Kerber/Serena ==> god please let this happen. Kerber has the ability to defend and draw Serena into extended rallies, perhaps. She's been playing Top 5 behind the other four since the start of the clay season, really.

It is an opportunity for 4 players to get 2nd round points at the very least.

Who pulled out? There are 13 Q/LL spots listed.

No one did. I mean a bye withdrew, because they reserved 2 slots for finalists to have byes, however since one of the finalist have a bye already being in the top 8 seeds they have another free slot which will occupied by a LL.

Cincy has such a weird draw. 9 byes and 12 qualifiers, in a 64 draw..

12 qualifiers + one LL taking the unused "performance bye" spot.

Sesil will shake up that end of the draw, wait and see

Actually once the drawn was completed the bottom half is not that bad. Still it should be a great draw for Serena.

 

[sweetadri06]

Shevdova was placed in bottom half and Ula as well, so it's not bad.

Its also odd that in four matches, qualifiers are playing each other.
