Random my eye. If Serena's back is still questionable and she's unable to serve well, Maria will win, given the enormous must-win pressure on Serena. This is the perfect storm for Maria to grab a win and get her comeback going, at least in the minds of her fanatics.

In that case, 80% of WTA would beat her... if they wanted Serena out, then I could name 30 players who would have a better shot at knocking her out instead of Maria who is already trembling now of the prospect of having to play against her....

In order to give Serena a mental motivation, this is the perfect draw. If you can't beat Maria V.2019, then you are not a candidate for the title...

Surrounding circumstances of her USO history, the scars from GS failures, and of chasing GS24 are veritable opponents too. She has to beat more than Maria, et al. Plus, the WTA wants to revitalize Maria on the tour. They don't care about the others, save Coco, Venus, Amanda.

Where is my girl Kaja Juvan? No Qualies and No Main Draw? I was so looking forwards to watch her matches.

In that case, pairing Maria with Serena is the worst choice if it is all about WTA revitalizing Maria.

And as far as I know, slams are independent from WTA.... maybe it changed recently, but that is what I always thought....

If Serena & Maria play (and that's a big IF), Serena will be ready!!

Actually it is the best choice.

Maria's greatest challenge and greatest reward.

If Maria were to beat Serena, it would indeed revitalize her image on
tour and give her renewed confidence(especially given she hasn't beaten Serena in nearly 15 years.) Do you think
Serena isn't aware of this. No way at RG she was going to play Maria if she had any doubts, thus she withdrew.

Serena loves to say she has nothing to lose. Maria, however, truly at this point has nothing to lose
and everything to gain.
