Shinobu will play only 2 more events this season: Tokyo & Pattaya.
I really hope she does well and finishes the year where she currently is...
I still don't understand why Shinobu didn't participate in Shanghai when she had a great chance to do well there.
Personally, I think it would've been a better idea for Shinobu to play in Bali, Shanghai, Tokyo and Pattaya to boost up her rankings. If she did well in those four tournaments, we would've seen two Japanese in the top twenty for the first time since 1995

Yes we all think Shinobu should have played more. But she has had a great year (particularly last six months) and lets just be happy for this and support her now in the final two events of the year.

We're all proud of Shinobu, but the thing that frustrates me is that she has the potential to be ranked much much higher this year, but doesn't play enough. She barely plays over 20 tourneys each season, and it's a real pity. 
However, I support her reasons (whatever they are) and I hope she gets to the SF at least at Tokyo. Good luck.

Tammy withdrew from Moscow & Filderstadt and will play Tokyo instead.kku said:

It's just like me to say things without thinking things through. I just read another post which said that Tammy would rather play in Japan in the main draw rather than qualify in Moscow. I like Tammy a lot, but I'm dissapointed that Shinobu didn't get the no.3 seeding and that Sarah Taylor and others who are at the bottom of the main draw would probably have to qualify because of Tammy's late entrance

kku, once you're in the MD, you can't be relegated to qualifying. So Sarah Taylor, etc are safe. Tammy must have got in when other players withdrew.kku said:I feel embarassed now
There's no significant difference between 3rd & 4th seed, so I don't think Shinobu will be too disappointed.

Seeing Shinobu is now in the Top 40, her aim should be to get a seeding for the Aus Open. Looks like that's quite unlikely to happen unless she performs really well at Pattaya and Auckland/Gold Coast.

I have no idea what's going on with her at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised she's just decided to call it a season.ex hopman said:
If that's the case, I'm really annoyed because she had a wonderful opportunity to get a seeding at the Aus Open next year...
Here's her BBS, if anybody's interested to post a message
