Welcome to Tashkent, Uzbekistan! After the withdrawals of Poutchkova and Tulyaganova, the field has lost two favourites, but there are many youngsters to get PYW glory, the most experienced are the Romanians Raluca Olaru and Sorana Cirstea, but Arantxa Rus,recent Guangzhou finalist, hopes to go one better after qualifying again! What about 15 years old Portuguese star Michelle Larcher de Brito? Vote Now as the competition gets underway!
