Sorry to Li,Sun,Yuan,Tammy and Akiko fans.
You may be surprised I don't pick Na. :tape:
I personally think Na is not in good form.As we can see she changed her coach to her husband.So still anything can happen.All I can say is good luck.
As for Yan,I expect a lot after the top 10 upset. :worship:

Nice thread

Main Draw
19. Li, Na (CHN)
31. Zheng, Jie (CHN)
62. Mirza, Sania (IND)
68. Tanasugarn, Tamarine (THA)
73. Chan, Yung-Jan (TPE)

Quali Draw
19. (q)Takao, Erika (JPN)
33. (q)Hisamatsu, Shiho (JPN)
49. (q)Yan, Zi (CHN)
56. (q)Morita, Ayumi (JPN)
60. (q)Fuda, Ryoko (JPN)
79. (q)Amanmuradova, Akgul (UZB)

It really depends on their draw... anyway, these are my predictions:

Main Draw
19. Li, Na (CHN)
23. Sugiyama, Ai (JPN)
31. Zheng, Jie (CHN)
50. Peng, Shuai (CHN)
62. Mirza, Sania (IND)
109. WC Tulyaganova, Iroda (UZB)
and why not... Ayumi Morita

They seem in good form. Aiko and Akiko are a bit shaky so far. Mirza looks in good form.

Thanks. :D
But KK I mean "MD" first round. :)
So...I doubt 7 Asian qualifiers can make it even to the MD. :p

I meant;
19. (q)Takao, Erika (JPN)
33. (q)Hisamatsu, Shiho (JPN)
49. (q)Yan, Zi (CHN)
56. (q)Morita, Ayumi (JPN)
60. (q)Fuda, Ryoko (JPN)
79. (q)Amanmuradova, Akgul (UZB)
will make it past the first round of the quali draw, I dont think any of them will qualify for the maindraw

It really depends of what kind of draws they get. Any way my prediction is 7. I hope for some easy draws for the Asians.(WC opponents prefferable )

Here are Mine
Main Draw
19. Li, Na (CHN)
23. Sugiyama, Ai (JPN)
31. Zheng, Jie (CHN)
62. Mirza, Sania (IND)
50. Peng, Shuai (CHN
73. Chan, Yung-Jan (TPE)
109.Tulyaganova, Iroda (UZB)

Qualies
Amanmuradova, Akgul (UZB)
Yan, Zi
Chan, Chin-Wei
Hsieh, Su-Wei

If the draw is not too tough, the following players can definitely survive the first round
19. Li, Na (CHN)
23. Sugiyama, Ai (JPN)
31. Zheng, Jie (CHN)
62. Mirza, Sania (IND)
50. Peng, Shuai (CHN
73. Chan, Yung-Jan (TPE)
109.Tulyaganova, Iroda (UZB)

23. Sugiyama, Ai (JPN)

50. Peng, Shuai (CHN)
60. Nakamura, Aiko (JPN)

50. Peng, Shuai (CHN)
62. Mirza, Sania (IND)
94. Lepchenko, Varvara (UZB)

62. Mirza, Sania (IND)
73. Chan, Yung-Jan (TPE)

Na, Ai, Jie, Shuai, Sania, Iroda.

I think Su-Wei and Zi will qualify.

Israel is also a part of Asia.
