#ed_op#span class="postbody"#ed_cl#
Naomi's lst round match is against "Serena Williams".
I am not surprised. I don't believe in Random draw. Venus didn't draw Serena in the 3rd round at Indian Wells by chance. But I refrain from commenting on those draws anymore. Enough said.#ed_op#span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl#

This draw is so disgusting that it's left me seeing red. Not only will this tournament lose either Serena or Naomi after the lst and the winner gets Svitolina, you have Vika playing Bellis in the lst, the winner then gets Keys, while you got crap match-ups like K. Bond' v VanU, Tsurenko v Tomljanovic, Flipkens v Buznarescu and 2 WCs playing each other Liu v Osuigwe in the lst.....c'mon. By the 3rd round interest in this event could be dead with significant players of interest having been dismissed. Like a poster on the TF said, this draw needs to be blown up and redone..........

Looking at this draw from another standpoint, the competition is steep from the beginning, just like Indy. Still think the Slams offer the best competition, Ace? You don't get matchups like this in the early rounds of the Slams.

Yes we do.. We have Sharapova vs Halep at US Open.
Bencic vs Venus at the Aussie Open.
Serena vs Bencic at the Aussie Open.
Yes you do get these type of draws at slams.

These draws are fixed. We have never seen this happen with Sharapova. I didn't see her drawing Azarenka in the first rd of Indian Wells or Kerber drawing Bellis. Why is it that Serena has not had a protected ranking, wasn't she #1 when she went on maternity leave? This is why I prefer Men's Tennis. A damn shame. THe mantra is: don't let the black girls get too good....

Azarenka has Bellis in R1 and Keys in R2
Kasatkina has (likely) Bencic in her first match.

If this draw is fixed, then they managed to fix it badly for a lot of players.

We had Bencic vs Ostapenko at IW, and now Bencic vs Kasatkina.

But no, I do not buy the fixed draw theory: why would they do it? What do they gain by getting rid of so many spotlight-players in R1 and R2?

It never happens to Sharapova????

At indian wells, it was R1 Osaka vs Sharapova
At Miami, it is R1 Osaka vs Serena

If you are gonna complain about Serena her draw here, then a comparison with Sharapova is the worst possible example to give as both got the same opponent

And Osaka will be mentally drained. She is a walking bye... seen it so often with youngsters after winning their first big title.

As for protected ranking: It is indeed protected RANKING, not protected SEEDING.
You are allowed in the main draw based on your protected ranking, but seeds have always been based on real ranking.
