Welcome to Kolkata, India! Last year, a resurgent Iroda Tulyaganova romped through a weak field to take the title, crushing Tamarine Tanasugarn in the final. Tulyaganova is in China qualifying, and Tanasugarn isn't back either, but the field is much stronger than in years past. PYW lengend Daniela Hantuchova heads the field, which also boasts Flavia Pennetta, who has won more PYW titles than any player this year, Maria Kirilenko, US Open finalist, and Sania Mirza, always a hometown favorite. Who will reign supreme at the 2007 Sunfeast Open? Vote now as the competition kicks off!
