Player Of The Week



Lindsay Davenport

I'm giving it to Lindsay again so everyone in the field has at least 1 ace, and also she made the QFs last week and everyone else had at least 2 aces

Preview

The Favourites







Well Kim is the obvious favourite, her strategy has been working against almost everyone, she has to watch out for a few that can hang with her though, and I feel that her opponents are beginning to work out her plan, Kirilenko only has 1 ace, but her points have been successful, Maria is highly unpredictable however, so any results is possible, and Capriati has been very solid, she could take the title with a good draw.

The Contenders







"Queen" Dechy has been in erratic form and this is her last chance to get a good result on one of her strong surfaces, she has the game, but she's maybe lacking some confidence, Pennetta's points have really impressed me, she's definitely one to watch, and we can't discount Tammy, she won the Australian Open with 1 ace, so she can certainly win this with 2.

The Dark Horses







The Dangerous Floaters
