8. Victoria Azarenka

Weapons: Strong serve and flat backhand, good movement on the baseline out to both wings.
Weaknesses: Health a real question, sometimes has trouble facing the pressure versus top players

I likely would have ranked Vika higher, due to her power and ability to hit through opponents with incredibly flat balls on either wing. However, recurring health problems have really put the wrench in her season and put serious doubt over her ability to go deep over a fortnight. If she looks sharp and healthy early on, watch out.
