An Uneasy Draw with potential upsets?

Both the mens and womens draw, prove to be tricky for the top players, and favorites, from what I see. Just wondering what you all think? For instance, with the women:

I see Kuz against Britains own Keothovong who plays well on grass in 3rd round, and Kuz cant play well on grass, so potential upset here.

Serena vs safarova in 2nd round could prove tricky. Though Serena should win it, she hasnt played a grass warmup, and safarova is a very dangerous player on all surfaces.

Despite her fall, Vaidisova can make a bit of noise knocking out Safina who doesnt fair well on the surface.

Venus could be mathced up against Makorova who plays extremely well on grass. Williams should get the V, but ya never know.

More interesting, I suppose is the potential match ups with Dementieva and up and comer Wickmayer, as well with the side of draw that has Zvonereva goign up against either Wozniak or Razzano the spoiler. Even a bit more interesting is the Azarenka-Groenfeld ( huge server)-Mirza-Sharapova potential matchups, especiallyMaria vs Azarenka( who I think is a future #1 with Wozniacki). Speaking of The Woz, she just won Aegon title and looks very very dangerous. Could see her in at least semis. Oh, and of course the men. There will be a few surprises of course, being grass, but Federer has to be the fav and should win, though I wouldnt be surprised if a low seed, unseeded dude pulls it out. Thoughts?

    Well the women's draw is tricky, but if they truely deserve there ranking, they should all beat these second rate players. Obviously all of the players you mentioned are great, I mean, there in the top 100, but these top 10 girls SHOULD have no problem with them, but they might, haha. I see Jankovic losing quickly (even though she has a fairly easy draw), and I see Dementieva, Zvonareva (off an injury, so she has an excuse), and Safina losing early as well. And I honestly don't think Venus or Serena will win either. So basically that's all of the top 10 girls. In Wimbledon I REALLY want Wozniacki or Azarenka stepping up and winning this. Unfortunately, Wozniacki has a potential 4th round math with my favorite Kuznetsova, but I wouldn't mind her making it to the final though. I am so tired of the same girls I've been watching! I wouldn't even mind Sharapova winning, because she's been out so long, but if Caroline Wozniacki wins, I wouldn't be the least bit upset (except if she beats Kuz, than I'd be a little upset, but I'd still want to see Caroline win). Also, I was looking at the editors picks on tennis.com, and most of them said Azarenka, which surprised me, but, it's good to see a new "favortie". For men I think Andy Roddick will win..

    Not trying to sound like a tough guy, but about the only time I cry is due to death. I tend to become more pissed than upset over things. I guess I'm a very stereotypical male in that regard. Did Incubus of all people really just call someone else a sociopath and a psychopath?
