Welcome to Charleston, South Carolina, USA! Last week, in Amelia Island, we saw a weakened field after many cancellations. Here, The Family Circle Cup is also suffering from the absence of Venus and Serena Williams, but many promising players are present in the draw. With Benesova, Safina, Peschke, Sprem, Zvonareva, Grönefeld, Arvidsson, Kuznetsova, Vaidisova, Harkleroad and Petrova, there are many contenders for the title. Will the winner come from this select group, or will someone else take the trophy home? Vote now as the Family Circle Cup gets started!
