Winner will receive main draw entry into 2013 Australian Open.
The USTA signed a agreement to host it in Atlanta, GA. In December, in Atlanta it is about 20-30 degrees F outside. Thats probably why the play indoors.
I don't see why Alison is getting so much crap either, however I do agree that she'd be a terrible choice for the AO wildcard. I'd be happy with Glatch, Keys, Sanchez, Burdette, or Mattek-Sands winning this.
I'm good with anyone winning this except Falconi, Riske, or Cohen. I have a feeling Madison will win it though. I think it also depends on how BMS is playing...I can never figure her out and if she's motivated.
