Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships gehört für mich zu den dämlichsten Turniernamen überhaupt

[KatjaS]

Sie bleibt vorerst auf der #5, außer wenn Li Na Radwanska schlägt.

[Reephoria.]

I hope the back is better

[Gary101]

I think she should skip the Fed Cup and let Mona take her place. Doha/Dubai are her last tournaments where she can add plenty of points before she has to start defending last year's points which is going to be a tough feat.

I knew something was off with her form in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. It didn't seem like she had a break during the offseason with her movement and sluggish shots but now we know it was an injury.

[crazillo]

Mona refused to be on the team.
Kerber on the other hand didn't sign up for Paris even before she had the injury just to play Fed Cup. I think she will play if it is somehow possible.

[Schnffy]

angie on her facebook site:

I sadly have to announce that I will not be able to participate in the Fed Cup round against France! I have tried everything to make it possible but unfortunately because of my back I am not fit to a hundred percent! I am sure that the girls will do well against France! I keep my fingers crossed, my thoughts are with my team! Now I will be focused on coming back as soon as possible!

Angie

[crazillo]

Sad to see. I think France is the favourite now.

[Bodensee]

Hopefully she can play in Dubai.

[Johnbert]

get well soon angie. for the fed cup team it'S really horrible that she'll be absent

[Setsuna.]

How bad is her injury? She shouldn't play Doha if she still feeling the pain in her back. The injury might get worse.

[KatjaS]

She can earn $200,000 just for appearing at 4 of the P5 events. If it's possible she'll play Doha, even if it's just for 1 match.

What a rule...

Well, the WTA is guaranteeing a certain amount of Top 10 players to those tournaments, that's how they get them there. Angie gets $200,000 for playing all PM, $200,000 for playing 4 P5, $50,000 for playing the 5th P5 and $50,000 for playing 2 P700s. Azarenka gets twice that.

[crazillo]

That's good, but I wonder if they get additional fees directly by the tournaments... That would be over the top IMO.
