like nothing against her at all... i really like her, but why didnt they get a better and more well-known player?
like i know she is seen as a young phenom... but, yeah i jsut thought they could have got comeone better
Geez, how much do u think these players got paid to come and play at this exhibition? Must be very good paid otherwise those 5 top 10 players wont waste their time to come here!! U think so?...
The top stars are definitely paid very well. I believe I read somewhere that the appearance fee for a major star is around $250,000-$300,000 but people like Sharapova can get even more.
Starlets like Caroline Wozniacki would get much less, but it's still worthwhile for her. Hong Kong is in the about same time zone as Australia. It's a legitimate warm up event considering the presence of so many stars.
