SERENA Unseeded At RG
PARIS -- Serena Williams' return to Grand Slam tennis from maternity leave just got even tougher. French Open organizers announced on Monday they will not give Williams a seeding. "This year again, tournament officials will establish the list and ranking of the women's seeds based on the WTA ranking,'' the French Tennis Federation said in a statement to The Associated Press. "Consequently, [the seeds] will reflect this week's world ranking.'' Williams, a three-time French Open champion, is expected to play in her first major since giving birth to her daughter in September.
They're hoping she'll knock out a couple of contenders then lose steam and lose, thus paving the way for Sharapova's tilt towards the winner's circle.

I have always said there is no such thing as a 100% random draw. The French will carefully select Serena's first, 2nd and 3rd round opponents. It will be done by a computer program, in the middle of the night in a dark room. The nice thing is, Serena can handle it. Last edited by Ace2Ace on May Mon 21, 2018 3:00 pm, edited 2 times in total.
