-----

What a lousy draw!
Both Inter-High School finalists (Komugi Matsui and Moe Kawatoko) are up against top seeds.

I would have thought that Angie Widjaja would play here, I guess she's kinda finished with juniors.

[Seldom]

There are not that many high profile players...I thought there would be more, since it is a Grade A event.... I already see Svetlana holding the trophy now. She'll get revenge for the US Open final, this time beating Marion..

Good luck to :-

Svetlana Kuznetsova
plus

Sania Mirza
Virag Nemeth
Matea Mezak
Natalia Papadopolou
Marion Bartoli


Seldom ..... the entry is about the same as last year , this event doesn't attract all the best players .... time zone , flying , cost etc
but it does have #2 , #3 and #4 in the ranks
