PYW Istanbul
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/%...s/istanbul.jpg
Welcome to the third edition of the PYW Istanbul Cup! With Anna-Lena Grönefeld and Anastasia Myskina as previous winners, it is clear that big names enter this tournament that is the bridge between two continents. Last year's runner-up, Urszula Radwanska, will aspire to take the title this time, but has to go through qualifying once more. Vote now as the Istanbul Cup gets underway, and the players have their final matches as preparation for Roland Garros!
