Draw is out. Milos gets handed the always tricky Dustin Brown in the first round, so that'll be a good test right out of the blocks. In Novak's half of the draw, with a Nadal or Monfils quarter. But his section is pretty easy if he's focused, so he should easily make the quarters. Meanwhile the potential losers of the Roger lottery were Berdych (3rd round) and Nishikori (4th round). But for Roger beating those two only gets him Murray, then possibly Wawrinka, and then Djokovic. I'm obviously not expecting him to win, but if he does win it'll pretty much be his greatest major ever.
Genie gets Louisa Chirico in the first round, so not an easy start as she's a top 60 opponent. But if Genie can navigate that she hopefully can at least get into the fourth round and a matchup with Kerber. Didn't realize Belinda Bencic had become unranked, but Serena draws her right away so about as tough a first round matchup as there is for Serena.
