the bottom half of the 2012 Roland Garros draw has

2011 RG Champ Na
2010 RG Champ Franny

2012 Madrid Champ Serena
2011 Madrid Champ Petra

2012 Rome Champ Maria
2011 Rome Champ Maria

2012 Stuttgart Champ Maria
2011 Stuttgart Champ Julia

2012 Charleston Champ Serena
2011 Charleston Champ Karolina

so basically all the big clay court tournament champions of the last 2 years

while the top half is basically another Vika v Aga SF, even though both of them have never reached a Roland Garros SF, with both of them drawing their pigeons in Sammy and Marion :spit:

it is likely that the finalist from the top half will get their biggest clay court result of their career unless the "over the hill" Venus, Sammy, Ana or Sveta can wake up

 

[QINWEN-GOAT]

actually Kerber has a good chance for her 2nd SF ... who would have thought that before the USO last year

but congrats to Azza on reaching the final :shrug:

 

[bandabou]

How they manage it..

 

[Cp6uja]

What a pity!

 

[LUVMIRZA]

NA-MUG:smash: Making it look like one of the worst problems that this Universe is facing right now For a change after a long time, Vika got a good draw. Deal with it!!

 

[Christinawww]

and Fran, Caro and Julia hasn't exactly been forces this clay season, and actually neither has Petra.

 

[QINWEN-GOAT]

How they manage it..

the SEWTA has their special ways of managing draws

 

[tejmeglekvár]

Well AO, IW and Miami were all won by players from the top half

 

[NashaMasha]

if the winner of RG 2012 is not from bottom half - Tournament will be called shit

Well AO, IW and Miami were all won by players from the top half

it's not clay , Pete Sampras has 14 slams , but RG , do not mess red clay and Plexicushion trash

 

[The Kaz]

Well AO, IW and Miami were all won by players from the top half

and USO

 

[goldenlox]

The question was which quarter Serena would land in.
So the bottom half is tougher.
Radwanska plays Venus in round 2. That cant be called easy.
And since Justine retired & Dinara had her back problem, Stosur probably is capable of the highest quality clay tennis, when she's on
Anyway, it should be wide open, like most recent FO's

 

[Quest for Infamy]

and USO

Sam was in the bottom half, Serena beat #1 seed in SF.

 

[Tenis Srbija]

Well AO, IW and Miami were all won by players from the top half

And that would be 2 player...or 1,5 to be exact :lol:

 

[Tenis Srbija]

Sam was in the bottom half, Serena beat #1 seed in SF.

He said she is in top half NOW :lol:

 

[Quest for Infamy]

He said she is in top half NOW :lol:

Ah yes, I didn't get it. But coincidentally all the players were in the same respective halves in the tournaments they won this year that they are now.

 

[Perseust]

That's amazing.

 

[QINWEN-GOAT]

we'll see if the survivor of the bottom half CLAY-GOATS can lift the trophy

 

[Shivank17]

The draw is really unbalanced.

 

[QINWEN-GOAT]

and Vika's form against Brianti bascially confirms the real contenders are all in bottom half
