LOL I guess she means that she's going to Australia in January. For Europeans, Southern China (HK hub, that is) is a natural stopover to their final destination, Aussie land
It will be very nice of Shenzhen announcing like below and really made her play from Q. :lol:
I think they are waiting, in case, any Top player suddenly apply for WC
but let's hope Kimiko has quite a chance here.
...also maybe not a bad idea starting from Q since she could get Bartoli in MD R1
and fail to use Shenzhen as worm up tourney.
