Biggest Concerns for Top Seeds
Serena Williams (1)
There isn't a whole lot that should concern Serena Williams at this stage in the tournament (or the 2013 campaign), but Svetlana Kuznetsova does have some history against Williams.
You may remember that Kuznetsova defeated Williams in the quarterfinals of the 2009 French Open, 7-6, 5-7, 7-5. The world No. 39 is also 22-10 this season with a couple of wins over world No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki. Add in the fact that she just defeated world No. 8 Angelique Kerber in the fourth round, and you can't call this a gimme for Williams.
There's also this little nugget, per TheSixthSet.com:
Roger Federer (2)
Concerns? You bet Roger Federer has some headed into his match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
The Swiss great may be 9-3 lifetime against Tsonga, but Tsonga beat him at Wimbledon—his favorite Grand Slam—in 2011 and also battled him through five sets at the Australian Open this year.
On top of that, No. 15 seed Gilles Simon took Federer to five sets in the fourth round, and Tsonga has been rolling, showing an improved backhand in the process.
Matt Cronin of TennisReporters.net tweeted:
Not only do I think Tsonga is going to test Federer, he's going to beat him.
David Ferrer (4)
You want to know why David Ferrer shouldn't take Tommy Robredo lightly?
Because Robredo became the first player since 1927 to win three straight Grand Slam matches from two sets down when he defeated Nicolas Almagro on Sunday.
ESPN Tennis tweeted:
Sure, Ferrer is 6-2 lifetime against Robredo and, sure, he's won their last three matchups, but Robredo is literally on a historic run. We've seen stranger things happen in tennis than for Robredo to defeat Ferrer.
Agnieszka Radwanska (4)
While I'm going with Radwanska over Sara Errani on Tuesday, I don't think it's going to be as easy a match for the 24-year-old as some suggest.
Yes, Radwanska is 6-1 lifetime against Errani and, yes, she's 24-7 with two singles titles this year, but there is some reason for pause.
For one, Radwanska recently lost to world No. 57 Simona Halep and world No. 37 Laura Robson.
On top of that, Errani isn't a slouch. She was 31-13 with a singles title coming into the French Open. She's also defeated No. 2 Maria Sharapova, No. 12 Maria Kirilenko, No. 13 Marion Bartoli and No. 14 Ana Ivanovic this year.
