Women's Draw
Serena: she's only lost two matches all year and is trying to make history. Easy pick. The only person with a shot to beat her is the winner of the Azarenka vs. Kvitova match (if they both make it that far) in the finals.
Men's Draw
Andy Murry: for whatever reason this is Djokovic's worst hard court tournament and Andy has been to at least the semi's of the other three grand slams. He's also on the weaker side of the draw getting Federer in the semis instead of Djokovic.
Darkhorse: Ken Nishikori: has a relatively easy draw until the semis and he made it to the finals last year.
@Jeffrey Wright good call on Federer looking better than Djokovic over the summer however the problem is that he wears down in majors due to them being best of 5 instead of best of 3. If this was a best of 3 tournament he would be my favorite.
