2015 Australian Open - Women's Draw

2015 Australian Open – Women’s Draw      To my mind the top three seeds, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and Simona Halep are head and shoulders above the field and should be clear favourites for the Australian title.  But Serena has been in questionable form.  Does that open the door for someone else?   First Quarter For all intents and purposes Serena (1) is the favourite.  The bookies have her as #1 at 3.25 (2.25:1 or 9/4) over her nearest competitor, Sharapova at 6.0.  But Serena hasn’t won the Australian since 2010, going 4r-QF-4R in the last three iterations.  Will she continue to falter early in Melbourne?
