Draw looks promising, but than again this is K-lina we're talking about!!! Good luck!!! Ireally have feeling she will do something good this year, or not
However, when it comes to ranking points (and money), these $220K tournaments are worthless. In Brisbane, based on her ranking, Karolina should reach only the final round of qualies. That would give her 10 points and $860.
If instead she had played next week's $50K ITF in China, she would be seeded #1 and expected to win the tournament. That would give her 70 points and approx. $7,000.
A bit harder than many would expect, but if you look at Doi's recent results you'll see she's in quite a nice form (at least she was at the end of 2010 season). So all in all, it's important that she won. But the job isn't over yet by any stretch of imagination. In order to increase her points even a little bit, Karolina needs to qualify here.
