Good Luck to Alicia!!!! I hope her injury is fine now and that she can play some good tennis here!! Would also like to see Molik/Sugiyama in doubles!
Also Good Luck to Patty! Would be nice to see her do well in front of her home crowd.

Hopefully Venus gets past Sprem, because I want to see Venus vs. Maria. Venus needs to show MAria how to play power tennis...but she must get through Sprem first. Come on Venus, tough tournament, but if you can bring your A-game, you can do this!

A tough, loaded draw; that's good.
The winner here should be well-deserving.

In my opinon, this has the potential to be the BEST TOURNEY OF THE YEAR:
Look @ the first round match-ups:
Venus vs. Sprem
A player ranked #9 against a player ranked #14 (that's the only way i could hype up Serena vs. Sugiyama. Serena should roll)
Bovina vs. Schiavone
Douchevina vs. Hantuchova
Raymond vs. Petrova (could be good)
Pierce vs. Zuluaga
Predicted Quarterfinal Battles
Match #1- Battle of the French Champions
Amelie Mauresmo (1)
vs.
Mary Pierce
Match #2- Battle of the Russians
Elena Dementieva (3)
vs.
Nadia Petrova
Match #3- Battle of the 6 Foot Wimbledon Champs
Venus Williams (7)
vs.
Maria Sharapova (4)
Match #4- Battle of the American Superpowers
Serena Williams (5)
vs.
Lindsay Davenport (2)
These quarterfinals could all be main draw tour finals!
CONGRATS TO THE TOUR DIRECTOR
GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE THIS TOURNAMENT IS AS GOOD AS THE DRAW!

Maleeva vs. Zvonareva should be good, too. At least better than Douchevina-Hantuchova. :rolleyes:
Pierce wont beat the winner of Zvonareva-Maleeva bc she doesnt like playing both of them.

It is just official, from the site... really lame to pull out after the draw on the saturday (even worse seeing she was in a tough half with her sister and Lindsay)!

Tatiana Golovin is now guaranteed a place in draw now
Ai Sugiyama would have been 9th seed anyway so it dont really affect draw too much

Looks like the schedule for tomorrow is the 4 quali finals followed by those 3 double matches. This is the schedule on the official arena, so i guess there are no singles tomorrow...
Ai only has to face either Qualifiers or LL up until the QFs :eek:
If she loses before the QFs again ... :tape:

Good Luck to Lindsay if she plays. She had a bad cold in the semis in Moscow. Hoping she will be well enough to play here and her draw has been made a little easier with Serena pulling out, but its still tough. Should be a cakewalk for Mauresmo.
Just heard Lindsay withdrew :sad:
