So Henin is commited here even tough she's playing Antwerp? Interesting.


She will probably pull out if she gets into the Anwerp main draw, though. I'm not sure if we are allowed to say that out loud in front of the WTA people, though. ;)

Sequera here? Thanks!

Sequera here? Thanks!
Not here.

Sania Mirza? Thanks.

Venus! :bounce: :bounce:

Memphis will be tough, though. Saturday final there. So if she makes the final, that means Sunday end here in Doha ( if she makes the final, of course + airtime ) and then flying to the US for a Tuesday-Saturday tournament. ( No byes in Memphis ). Interesting. ;)

Is Tammy here?

Sania Mirza? Thanks.
Here.

arvidsson ?

arvidsson ?

She will so get a wildcard if not a single person pulls out anyway. :p

Carlos said a while ago on Justine's website that it would either be Antwerp or Doha on her schedule. It's just a question of when she'll pull out.

Who is first 8th seeded at this moment?
Players from number 2-9 in current ranking this week.

8 will have BYEs so ithink only 8 seeded.

8 BYE

I dont have clear info but I think there will be 16 seeds,8 of them will have BYE through the 2nd round.

Sofia still in ?
no

Who is the last player on the quali list at the moment?

What Bout Bally ? In Or Still Alt :) please

Slovenians?

Wow that is some heavy draw (there are so many up and commers in it that scares the shit out of me). if I got it right Shahar is now seeded 13 (4 players in front of her will not play: Henin, Serena, Golovin and Vaidisova) that mean that she need to get 1 more withdraw to be seeded 12 and maybe have a better draw (you can never know with all these flotters). Whoever asked that mean that Radwanska will need one withdraw to be seeded.

8 BYE
I dont have clear info but I think there will be 16 seeds,8 of them will have BYE through the 2nd round.


That would mean Amelie would be seeded; I hope it's true. :D

Thanks, Tobi. :)

That would mean Amelie would be seeded; I hope it's true. :D

ame would b the 14th seed atm since henin, serena,vaidisova, golovin wont play here..i think seeding would be based after the paris tourney..and ame might be subtracting some points since she just reached QF unlike last yr which she reached SF and agnes had nothing to defend then reached the finals..we'll see ;)
