Based on the draw for the Sony Ericsson Open which was revealed on Monday, defending champion Serena Williams could clash with No. 1 Justine Henin in the Sony Ericsson Open quarterfinals and with sister Venus in the semifinals.Main-draw play begins Wednesday at the world's largest tennis tournament outside of the four Grand Slams.
The placement of seeded players is done by random drawing of lots (lol), and No. 2 Ana Ivanovic caught a break. She won't have to play Henin, the top seed, or the Williams sisters to reach the final, but she might have to face former No. 1 Lindsay Davenport in her quarter of the draw.
Serena Williams, in contrast, would have to tangle with fierce foes well before the final. Williams, who is seeded eighth at Key Biscayne, rallied for a stirring comeback to beat Henin in three sets in last year's Key Biscayne championship. Williams had to pull out a third-set tiebreaker 7-4 to get past her sister in the semifinals earlier this month in Bangalore, India.
