The main draw will be out tomorrow (im assuming) but Im not going to post the entry list cause I think what Im about to say sum's up how difficult this tournament is going to be and how strong the field will be.

Katarina Srebotnik, the world number 26, is the top seed of QUALIFYING

Oh, that is really a hard entry list.
Doesn't matter what draw for Daniela - will be tough for sure.

omg. Tough. But this shows just how right it was to move the tournament from right after Aus Open and til now. Usually this tournament had the weakest field of the tier Is.

Daniela will be seeded seventh. The Serbs, Dementieva and Safina will be the top four seeds.

This will be a very tough field. Hopefully Danka will face Morita or Nakamura. I thought maybe struggling Szavay, Vaidisova and Maria Overratetirilenko were good but after todays peformance i don't think she will beat anyone of them.

Hope she gets a good draw and wins her 1 Round Match.

Morita (i think she's japanese ?) and Nakamura are homeplayers so they won't be easy aswell
i think no one will with a field like this
it doesn't matter atm who her opponent will be , personally i think her form will be more important.
if she plays like the last days every opponent will be tough
i hope she gets better every match

Post subject:  Re: Toray Pan Pacific Open, Tokyo

draw is out. Is seeded 7

R32: Schiavone
Do we dare to look further? If we do
R16: Wozniacki
And even though it might be pointless to look further:
QF: Dementieva

and for the fun of it. Chakvetadze is seeded 8
R32: Q
R16: Razzano or Sugiyama

After what I have seen yesterday, I would say it would be a big success if she could beat Schiavone.

Post subject:  Re: Toray Pan Pacific Open, Tokyo

like christina said i don't look farther then the first round
but still if she plays well she can beat her
we only can hope she find her old form again

I'm not saying this because Daniela is my favourite player...but why does she seriously get the worst draws in tournaments?

About the draw...not looking forward than schiavone...one match at a time. I just hope she improves from her performance in bali

Post subject:  Re: Toray Pan Pacific Open, Tokyo

After looking at the draw, I rather stick a match before another..
If she keep on playing the same form,I guess we could just pray for her to move on and find her form back..

The draw is very tough and I hope she can at least make to QF.. :o :o

Can't say im surprised, the entry list is ridiculously tough so whoever she got would of been difficult, and yes there is Chaky who has a qualy in the first round but when you consider theres people as highly ranked as Srebotnik in the qualifiers it may not be the greatest of draws for her either, and tbh her form is about as good as Daniela's of late

That will be a tough first round match.

Honestly I'm not very confident, but with Daniela you never know. ;)
