I wonder how Wozniacki will do as the top seed at the US Open now that Serena is gone. Given all the other injuries on the WTA tour, she could very well make it deep into the second week again.
I think this title is perfect for a surprise, first-time Grand Slam title winner. So, we'll see how it goes.
The Pavlyuchenkova - Oudin match should be interesting. I see the Russian winning in three.
I think Wozniacki is looking very good these days. Because she's vulnerable to certain players, though, some of her success will depend on the draw.
