My guess is if she racks up some good wins in CA early in July then plays well in Cincy and Montreal then she'll pull out of New Haven. Its too bad as I can see her play quite easily in New Haven as its not too far from nyc. I saw her play Govortsova there a few years ago in a great match. Dani looked down and out loosing the first set and getting broken at 5 all in the third, but won it in a 3rd set tiebreak. It was a great night of tennis.

I'm so bored of these crappy clay tournaments going on atm, bring onthe hardocurt summer! Tennis players get far too much time off!

I have never understood why there are clay events months after the clay season ends. It makes no sense and people who participate in those tournaments clearly aren't good enough to compete on other surfaces so all they do is play on clay until they have no choice but to change surfaces. I love the hardcourt season so cannot wait for the US Open series to begin

5 tournaments right before a GS is hot mess, specially for Hantuchova. She will burn it all. But with all top players on action, i expect quick exits at least 4/5.

So shes not coming to Seoul. She played quite well there last year... But hope she will be rested now for the bigger tournaments after that one.


And what about Linz?

Linz Entry List:

Daniela's got a wildcard for Bali.


Jakarta. The “Road to Bali” just grew narrower for the world’s top women players after organizers decided to reduce the number of players at this year’s Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions.

Kevin Livesey, the tournament’s director, said the decision to cut down the roster from 12 players to eight — the same number as in the Doha championships a week before Bali — was made upon the request of the Women’s Tennis Association.

The association will announce the season’s rankings on Oct. 25, and six of the highest-ranked players who will not compete at the WTA Tour Championship in Doha will be eligible to compete at the Bali International Convention Center in Nusa Dua from Nov. 4-7.

The six players, along with two wild cards, must also have won an International Series event to qualify for the $600,000 extravaganza.

Organizers are banking on wild cards Ana Ivanovic of Serbia and Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia to draw a crowd.

Hantuchova has fond memories of the resort island after reaching the final of the Wismilak International in 2007 and the semifinal the following year.

The event promises to be more exciting since the round-robin format used last year has been replaced by a straight knockout.




TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA - Event tennis Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions this year certainly followed a top-class tennis players such as China tennis icon, Li Na, then Aravane Rezai and defending champion Maria Sharapova. They are the players who qualify to play in the prestigious tournament later that year.
