The groups are out! Great match ups ahead, one group definitely much stronger than the other. So here are my bold and sometimes irrational predictions!
Note: I will make pre-tournament predictions for individual matches and then predict them again just before they are played, taking into account other factors.
Red Group:
(1) Victoria Azarenka
(3) Serena Williams
(5) Angelique Kerber
(8) Li Na
The stronger group of the two with Victoria Azarenka who comes in on a 13 match win streak. Serena Williams being who she is will always be the favourite. Li Na is dangerous and Angelique has had a great year and is the only player in the field to beat Serena this year.
Predictions:
Victoria Azarenka def Kerber and Li
Serena def Kerber, Azarenka and Li
Li def Kerber
1st: Serena
2nd: Azarenka
White Group:
(2) Maria Sharapova
(4) Agnieszka Radwanska
(6) Petra Kvitova
(7) Sara Errani
Maria is the the 'in form' player of the group having reached the Beijing finals. Petra is unpredictable and could either cruise through to the finals or lose every single match. Radwanska is like a broken china doll, taped up everywhere and looking forward to wind down her year. Errani is back from injury and is playing her first, and likely last season ending championship in singles.
Predictions:
Maria def Radwanska, Kvitova and Errani
Kvitova def Radwanska and Errani
Radwanska def Errani
1st: Maria
2nd: Kvitova
Semi finals:
Serena def Kvitova
Azarenka def Sharapova
Finals:
Serena def Azarenka
Doubles champions:
Errani and Vinci
Enjoy the Championships!
