Russell and Bondarenko do look very much alike.
Dubois is 5'4", 127lbs. and was 19 in Oct.
Bondarenko is 5'9", 132lbs. and was 19 in Aug.
Russell was 27 in Aug., and apparently is keeping her height and weight to herself.
Sugiyama is 5'4-1/4", 121lbs. and was 30 in July.
You make the call.
I'm still leaning toward Bondarenko based on her, uh, profile, 'tho I would allow the likelihood of Russell.

That was her sister Alona. sometimes spelled Alyona.

Kateryna lost in 1R qualies at Sydney.
They have another sister too, Valeria, but I don't think she's playing this month.

I saw Ai today... she was practicing on a court next to Clijsters, but it was quite sad because there was a whole crowd around Kim and no-one on Ai's court. I think Ai and her group were watching Kim and laughing. I saw Ai pack up and leave so i decided to stand on the path to get an autograph, but then Gasquet was signing on a court about 10 metres away. I had to make a choice and I went with Gasquet, but when I came back onto the path, it was too late and Ai had gone to the restricted area. I heard stories about how Ai doesn't get too many autograph requests.

I bet Ai gets plenty of autograph requests...I know she does especially in Asia! How was she practiving? Well or did she look sick, she's not been feeling well...Who was with her on the practice court? What were her and group and her laughing at about Kim?

Thanks for the info!!!!!

She was practicing well I guess. She was with about 2 other people. One was probably a coach and the other a hitting partner... I think they were both Japanese also.

Ai was resting on the chair facing in the direction of Kim training and all the people watching her, and it was pretty obvious that what they were laughing about was concerned to Kim & the crowd, not sure what though.

Then Ai started skipping (with the arms swaying and everything :lol) around the court (part of her training) but she looked like a fool, and she knew it, because she was laughing at herself and her group was laughing at her aswell. When she got to the side of the court that was closer to Kim's she checked out the people in the crowd & Kim and people took notice of her and laughed and she laughed back. It was cute
