Welcome to Indian Harbour Beach, USA & Gifu, Japan. This will be the last of the Green Clay US Series Challengers and the First of the Japanese 50k series! Many Americans in Indian Habour Beach have flocked the draw as it is their last chance to prove that they are wildcard worthy for the French Open. The favorite is most likely Alison Riske, who will be going for another title this year. Other players in the draw include, Monica Puig, Olivia Rogowska and Melanie Oudin who is in great form. Into Japan another stunner field has arrived with many different Asian backgrounds. We could see another Date-Krumm v. Tanasugarn final as they are strong favorites. The other favorites to win this are Casey Dellacqua and Noppawan Lertcheewakarn. Note that Tamarine Tanasugarn is also defending both titles here this week, she will be in Gifu though. Vote now as these tournaments kick off!
