Players who are near to get this racquet are ;

Shahar PEER (ISR) 2006 Winner
I dont think so. in 2005 some players invited like Venus, but in 2006 players themselves signed into tournament as the tournament directors said. I remember very well that Venus promised to play in 2006 in in the ceremony but she didnt do. in 2006 Anastasia Myskina came quickly. Since she is good friend of Ipek SENOGLU .
