Welcome to Tokyo, Japan! This week is the first after the season's first Grand Slam. Can some players continue their hot streak, or can others manage to find their game again? With the eight-week absence of Kim Clijsters, the Belgian will not be able to get any points herself, but she will have few points to defend. If Dementieva falters, Clijsters might well regain the top position on the ranking. So the Toray Pan Pacific will provide us with some dazzling action. Vote now to see who find the same fate as Ivanovic, Sharapova and Hantuchova, and to see who will go on to the semi finals!
