Yeah, I think Monica will play. I think it depends on whether or not she enters Memphis, as this would give her 3 lower-tiered tournaments in a 52 week period, and I don't know how the WTA will handle that request, because they refused Hingis last year, I believe, when she wanted to enter Rosmalen again.
