Welcome to Odense, Denmark and Kolkata, India! With just three events after this week on the PYW ITF Circuit, players are trying to ensure their spots in the YEC or make a late charge to qualify. As the last event in Western Europe, Odense features some of the most popular players on the tour, including Dentoni, Bovina, Malek, and Kerber. The entire field should watch out for hometown girl Caroline Wozniacki who has had a breakout year on the PYW WTA cicuit, recently reaching the quarterfinals of that YEC.
Kolkata might have a weaker field than most tournaments at first glance, but there are quite a few players there ready to make a run at the title, including South, Morita, Ferguson, and Palkina. Who will take home the crowns?Vote now as the events begin!
