Update: Anna has withdrawn citing a left shoulder strain. ;)

I'm still not so sure Anna shouldn't just take a week off instead of playing here. She'll get to stay at home and also rest up in time for Linz. We don't want her getting injured.

On the other hand it's a Tier I so lots of points and money at stake plus perhaps she can carry her good form into there.

She should play Zurich and cancel Linzshe has a nioce draw and if she keeps her form up she can definetely beat Hingis,Dechy and Grönefeld but a withdrawal wouldn't be bad :)

It's a pretty good draw. She could possibly go deep again. Then again she may be too tired after this week. Good luck Anna!

I agree with you - better play Linz and cancel Zürich

I think if she wins tomorrow then she should withdraw from Zurich so she can celebrate properly. If she loses then it might be better for her to play so she can just try and put the loss behind her quickly.

Good luck Anna :kiss: :kiss:

I want Anna to win this tournament too :angel:

Good luck Anna in Zurich!!!:clap2:

Anna has withdrawn from Zurich. Smart decision by her. She should enjoy her triumph in Moscow.

Yes, very smart decision. She'll come back in a week and kick ass in Linz. :)
