Wild Cards —These are spots in each main draw which are filled at the tournament’s discretion. The selection of four men and two women will be made between July and the draw ceremonies.

Qualifiers — The women’s event will feature a 48-player qualifier draw and the men’s event will have a 28-player qualifier. The 12 women who win two matches in the qualifying rounds will be placed in the main draw, as will the seven men who win two matches in the qualifying rounds.

Absolutely awful draw, one of the worst of the year:

FFS did Lynn Walsh do the Cincinnati draw personally? Pavlyuchenkova followed by Dementieva is about as nightmarish as it gets.

Damn,damn,damn.

Well the draw is not the best haha, but right now all we want is Daniela to play well in San Diego and try and make the final...

I don't know what to expect on draws anymore... It's going worst and worst... I guess she will draw WC Davenport in US Open R1

Pavlyuchenkova She's 0-3 this year against her and I think it's time for a win... 4 losed to the same player would be way too rediculous by Danka. Most probably, another thriller match...
The draw is bad and she will be tried of San Diego ( if she plays the F) or disappointed by SF lost...

But still, she can remember her top game and impress us

Tough entry list and tougher draw.

But I think also Kuznetsova won't be happy about the draw, as well as Sharapova will be.

We really can't expect too much in Cincinatti. She's got a 5 hours flight today at least as Kleybanova on her twitter page just said her flight(s) took 12 hours as all the flights were booked up!!!

We have to hope that Daniela has a really good day and Pavylynchenkova doesn't. I think if she gets past her 1st round I think she can go a long way.

I hope Daniela can simply use Cincy as a good training ground if anything else...if she gets through some rounds then that's an added bonus. I hope she doesn't put too much pressure on herself, as she should be extremely proud of this week. She should use her 1st rounder as a practice match.

Daniela knows that Pavy is not a good match-up for her, but hopefully her match wins against Bartoli and Kleybanova will give her confidence.

I really think Daniela looks the fittest she's looked since Australian Open 2008, which I think bodes well. She's extremely toned everywhere, this time last year I remember her looking a bit frail so thank you Pat Etchberry.

Any news on Darren Cahill? I haven't seen him with Daniela at all recently...
