Australian Open preview by Anna Chakvetadze
In Women, I would especially like to point out that Victoria Azarenka, Agnieszka Radwanska and Svetlana Kuznetsova. All 3 of them showed a very good level of tennis. Frankly, I cannot say that I think Serena is a favourite at the moment. Moreover, it seems to me that it would be difficult for her to win this year. It is difficult to talk about the form of Sharapova. We have not seen any of her matches for a while. She decided against participating in Brisbane, at the last moment. But this isn’t the first time Sharapova returns to the tennis court after a break. When injuries are bothering tennis players, many will still go out, but not the top ones. They try to protect themselves, as Maria Sharapova did. But her draw is difficult, she can play in the quarterfinals with Serena Williams. But they still need to reach each other. In the first match, in any case, we will see the real condition of Williams and Sharapova. If I could choose a single favourite, I would still highlight Victoria Azarenka. She is well prepared for the season, she played purely in Brisbane. You said that, perhaps this is not an indicator, but from what I saw, it was a very high level of play.
