Fearless Forecast Australian Open 2012: Bottom Upper Draw
This edition of the Australian Open should be the best stage for Victoria Azarenka to show the world that she could be one of the leading contenders in the women's draw. I actually picked her as the one to most likely reach the semifinals in this side of the women's draw. Her most likely quarterfinal opponent - Polish Agnieszka Radwanska.
Azarenka's most likely opponents include local favorite Casey Dellacqua, 2012 Hobart champion Mona Barthel, and the competitive Chinese player Peng Shuai. Agnieszka also faces a tougher draw which may include Simona Halep, Yanina Wickmayer and Francesca Schiavone.
Let's see if this Australian Open is Victoria's for the taking!
