Grand Slam Random,random

It has to be the same Slam. Correct answers from 21st century only - Andy Roddick (USO), Andy Murray (USO) and Stan Wawrinka (RG). For women - Victoria Azarenka (AO), Simona Halep (RG), Ashleigh Barty (W) and Iga Swiatek (W).

yes, that is what I thought was intended by the question.

Same slam. Sorry, did not read the whole thing.

I did forget Gauff at RG, though.

I'm surprised that so many are saying both the men's and women's draws at the US Open are fixed. You don't usually see that.

Really? I feel it's always like this, but it changes depending on who the person in particular thinks is always given a gift.

When I was blogging I felt like a voice crying in the wilderness on this subject and got a lot of flak for it. Yes it's been around for a long time but the US Open seems to be the worst offender. One half of the draw is murderer's row and the other is a cakewalk. It used to be split between the bottom of the top and top o the bottom as an example. It's just so blatant now.

So they rigged the draw against Alcaraz for Sinner? Why would that be in anyone's interest?

The USO got what it deserved for the infamous 1996 draw. They did not rig the draw (how could that be done?) but moved Kafelnikov from #4 to #6 and moved Agassi UP to #4, so the wanted Sampras/Agassi QF would become a SF, shown by CBS (and its multimillion $$$ contract).
Ever since, this keeps coming up.
And indeed, why would anyone try to rig the draw to avoid a J/C meeting? Which other final has as much potential?

[Owendonovan]

More often than not, it seems one of the top seeds gets an easier path. Rarely does it predict a reasonable 30 seed in 4th 20 seed in round of 16, teens for quarters, and top ten for semis for the top 2 players. One seems to get the players rising and the other gets the players sinking.

[ponchi101]

And that is why draws are done at random.
You can even see that sometimes, it is not that the draw is unbalanced, it is that some player that has a hand over another is in the same side. This year, Osta was in the path for Iga at RG. Sure, it did not happen, but initially it looked like somebody had planned it to be funny.
