Using the head-to-head can be interesting especially in this part of the women's draw where Simona Halep and Ana Ivanovic are the top 2 seeds. On paper, none of the two will make it to the QFs. Interestingly, it's Russian Ekaterina Makarova who comes out on top on this side of the women's draw, based on how everyone pairs out! It is not a surprising result considering that Ekaterina Makarova reached her first grand slam semifinal in the last US Open in September of last year - so she is definitely on a roll! And it's a possibility that she can be in another grand slam semifinal!
Another interesting result is that Makarova's opponent on paper in the QF stage would be veteran American player Bethanie Mattek-Sands, who is now currently #258 in the world. Other strong players in this side of the draw are Sara Errani, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Belinda Bencic.
