Welcome to Minsk, Belorussia and San Diego, California, USA! There are only five events left on the PYW ITF Circuit before the season ending championships, so players are looking to pick up some points in hope of making the cut. Minsk is the last event in Eastern Europe, and it features many of the best Russian and Belarusian players, including Yakimova, Lapushchenkova, and Kleybanova. They'll face PYW superstar Corinna Dentoni and Patricia Mayr, who has improved tremendously, for the title. San Diego is the last American challenger this year, and many of the strongest American contenders, including Haynes, Washington, Brengle, and Stevenson, have come out for one last chance at a title. They face foreign talent like Gallovits and Tatishvilli for the championship. Who will take home the crowns? Vote now as the events begin!
