  • Question
  • If, in the first round, all even numbered matches (and none of the odd numbered ones) result in upsets, and there are no upsets in the second round, then who could be the lowest seeded player facing Maria Sharapova in semi-finals?


  • Options
  • A. Anastasia Myskina
  • B. Flavia Pennetta
  • C. Nadia Petrova
  • D. Svetlana Kuznetsova

  • Correct Answer
  • Anastasia Myskina 

    Explanation

    All odd numbered seeds up to 15 reach the 2nd round while instead of seeds 2 to 16 the players who reach the second round are seeds 31, 29, 27, 25, 23, 21, 19 and 17.
    The second round matches are between seeds 1-17, 31-15, 3-19, 29-13, 5-21, 27-11, 7-23 and 25-9. Since there are no upsets in that round the winners are seeds 1, 15, 3, 13, 5, 11, 7 and 9.
    The quarter final line up would be
    1-9, 15-7, 3-11 and 13-5.
    If seed 13 wins her match in the quarters she will next meet seed 1, i.e. Maria Sharapova in semifinals.
