I went for Daniela H on this one, Indy summed it up. Hoping Sabine L makes it also.

Really struggling with this as have no real affinity with any of them and actively dislike two of them (which is unusual for me as I pretty much like any tennis player to some degree). So its a bit surprising that two of them who are a complete triumph of style over substance have emerged here!!

Will come down to Coetzer or Lisicki but cant decide which way to go.

 let me guess which 2 you dislike?!

the WC group is a bit of a muddle of stuff really, just names thrown forwards, so hopefully 3 or 4 substantial players get through. 

I have just drawn the main groups (using your random generator, now I play around with it it basically gives me 9 ready made groups of 6.) and I think folks  are going to have real trouble voting on those!

Sabine Lisicki had a wonderful run at Wimbledon between the years 2009, 2011 to 2014.  This included 1 final, 1 semi finals  and 3 quarter finals. Making her debut  her Wimbledon on Centre Court in 2008, the stars must have foretold the future because her opponent was Marion Bartoli. They were to  meet twice more at Wimbledon both times on the centre court. In the 2011 quarter final which Sabine won and the 2013 final. Over the years at Wimbledon  2009-2014 Sabine beat Kuznetsova, Wozniacki, Li Na, Bartoli, Sloane Stephens, Sharapova,Schiavone, Stosur, Serena and Ivanovic all Grand Slam winners and also runners up in Ka. Pliskova and Radwanska. What a wonderful record. She also reached the doubles final in 2011 with Sam Stosur. Sadly she has not won a match at the Grand Slams since she beat Sam Stosur in Wimbledon 2016. I was present at that match where she served 12 aces and no double faults.
