I think the top players are just soft and don't want to play the week before a slam these days.
With 16 seeds players would have to hit the open prepared. With 32 seeds you can afford to go into the open at 80% and build up in your first few games knowing you are reasonably safe from playing a good player early.
True .the seeding made a difference and most players don't want to play a week before the Australian open.
Did Simon even try today. He wasn't barely moving or running for the ball.
