The biggest question heading into the U.S. Open draw was: Which highly seeded woman could be stuck facing Serena Williams in the third round? The answer: No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.
"Poor, poor, poor Victoria Azarenka," seven-time major champion John McEnroe said at Thursday's draw ceremony in Flushing Meadows.
Azarenka was a Wimbledon semifinalist in July, as was No. 22 Sabine Lisicki of Germany, who could play Williams' older sister Venus in the second round. Both Williams sisters lost in the fourth round at the All England Club.
Serena is a three-time U.S. Open champion who leads all active women with 13 Grand Slam titles. Venus is a two-time winner in New York and owns a total of seven major singles trophies.
The Grand Slam tournament starts Monday.
