The top upper part of the women's draw has 2012 Australian Open defending champion Victoria Azarenka in it. I think she has a relatively easy draw and I believe she should reach the quarterfinals of this year's tournament without tough opposition. Her prospective opponents include Ursula Radwanska, Elena Vesnina, Roberta Vinci and Sara Errani. Former world #1 Caroline Wozniacki may also be another prospective opponent of hers. I don't find any opponents in this draw who I think should be a big obstacle for Vika to block her way to the semi's. She's my pick to be the semifinalist of her part of the draw.
