PYW - Forest Hills
http://www.foresthillstennis.com/wstcnew/Images/Logo1_Edited.jpg
Welcome to Forest Hills! The PYW Tour makes a short stop here just before the US Open. It's the smallest tournament on the calendar with only sixteen players in the draw. The perfect warm up for the Grand Slam to come next week.
Let's have a look at the ranking of the participating players in the Main Draw:
PYW Ranking of the Participants:
*Rankings before Toronto & Bronx
27. Iveta Benesova CZE
46. Akiko Morigami JPN
58. Sania Mirza IND
73. Dally Randriantefy MAD
78. Martina Sucha SVK
109. Michaela Pastikova CZE
123. Sanda Mamic CRO
126. Lucie Safarova CZE
None of the eight remaining players in Forest Hills ever won a PYW tournament. That means the stakes are high for each competitor, with all of them going for glory and the final possibility to get their ranking up before the end of the season.
In the first round Mariana Diaz-Oliva was upset by Martina Sucha. Sucha now meets top seed Akiko Morigami.
Akiko Morigami, Sania Mirza, Dally Randriantefy and Lucie Safarova are all the clear favourites in their matches, but will they not buckle under the pressure?
