I formulated my own 2012 Olympic Games women's draw based on this week's rankings (July 23, 2012). What I did was to randomly place the top 64 players (like the Olympics) all over the draw
but allowing only four entries per country. If a fifth entry is still
in the top 64, I skipped her for the next player. I did not follow the
Olympic rule of reserving three slots for small countries since that would just weaken the field.
This is how the upper top half draw looked like -
Victoria Azarenka (BLR) vs. Monica Niculescu (ROU)
Heather Watson (GBR) vs. Christina McHale (USA)
Sabine Lisicki (GER) vs. Su Wei Hsieh (TPE)
Yaroslava Shvedova (KAZ) vs. Ana Ivanovic (SRB)
Vera Zvonareva (RUS) vs. Sloane Stephens (USA)
Ayumi Morita (JPN) vs. Klara Zakopalova (CZE)
Flavia Pennetta (ITA) vs.Romina Oprandi (SUI)
Chanelle Scheepers (RSA) vs. Petra Kvitova (CZE)
To know who wins in each match up, I used the Head-to-Head data available at www.wtatour.com. It's interesting how things turned out!
