    2008 US Open Draw: "New York I love you, but you're bringing me down."

    The US Open draw has been released.  Here is the women's draw.  This draw is bullshit.

    All you need to know: Dinara and Ana are in the same quarter, Serena and Venus are in the same quarter, and all four are on the same side of the bracket.

    If JJ cannot win here, she will never win a Slam.  Mark my words.  There are cake draws, and then there is what JJ got.  The draw simply doesn't make sense.  Ana (1) gets Dinara (6), Serena (4) gets Venus (7), Kuz (3) gets Lena (5), and JJ (2) gets Bepa (8).  If the seeds generally hold, all JJ has to do is beat Lena (a potentially tough task, I know) and then outlast whoever comes out of the other half.

    I have to run and I might post more about this later.  But based on a quick glance, this draw sucks donkeys.
