The Women's draw for the Miami Open was unveiled, and there are already plenty of talks on Victoria Azarenka and the challenge that she may pose to the World No. 1 - Serena Williams.

The competition already has its four quarters with one seriously loaded. The top four seeds in the first quarter included Serena Williams, Petra Kvitova, Elina Svitolina and Svetlana Kuznetsova. Given the fact that Kvitova is not in her form, this quarter is not expected to provide much competition with a surprise to play in the semis along with Serena Williams according to reports.

Coming to the second quarter, the top four seeds in this quarter include Aggie Radwanska, Simona Halep, Lucie Safarova and Ana Ivanovic. This presents more of a balanced quarter with Radwanska being slightly in the advantage coming off a decent performance in Indian Wells. Halep, on the other hand is unpredictable in terms of performance and would face an uphill challenge from Stosur, Lucie and Sloane Stephens in order to reach the semis.

The third quarter has its top four seeds include Garbine Muguruza, Carla Suarez Navarro, Venus Williams and Victoria Azarenka. The accommodation of weak seeded Garbine and Carla Suarez, along with strong seeded and former World No 1 Venus Williams and Azarenka do provide a lot of imbalance to this quarter.

The fourth quarter has Angie Kerber, Belinda Bencic, Roberta Vinci and Sana Errani as the top four seeded players. This quarter has a perfect mix of experienced and young guns. The fixtures reveal that Bencic got an easy run to the third round wherein she will face No. 29 Sabine who is trying to prove her in the arena. The No. 2 Madison and the unseeded Genie Bouchard could also lead to an unpredictable emergence into the semis of the Miami Open Tennis.
