Nations Cup looks at its best!



The Nations Cup is looking good already here in Oslo! Players have already poured in to practice on this unusualy surface. Especially the players who are at the top. This event isnt about a ranking, its about pride! One of the players on the court was Jelena Dokic who wants to make herself better known to everyone here in Norway. Here's what she had to say about this new surface: 'I think it's a great innovation for the Tour to have a surface like this. It will certainly make things mor einteresting for the players and the fans. I'm excited with this new surface' Tickets have been selling like crazy in Oslo! The tennis center has been fixed especially for this event.

In group A Kimiko Date looks to get through that group pretty easily with her ankle injury that occured last Monday. 'I hope i can do my best this tournament. The injury is healing fast the doctors are saying it will be gone by Friday.'

In group B Martina Hingis is looking to cap of her amazing season with an early exibition win in a foreign country. Others will try to stop her reign and walk right by.

We will just have to wait and see until the opening day of the Nations Cup! See you soon!
