Safina, Koukalova Lead Prague


Posted on May 9, 2005

After a six year hiatus, for some inexplicable reason the Prague events returns the same week of Tier 1 Rome. But they did get a fairly interesting draw with top seed Dinara “Lil Sis” Safina and second-seeded Klara “Kooky” Koukalova.

Also in the field are No.3 seed Jelena Kostanic, No. 4 Nuria Llagostera Vives, who just won her first WTA title in Rabat Sunday absence, and fifth-seeded Iveta “Not Lose Early at this Event” Benesova.

A WTA event was last held in Prague in 1998 when Jana Novotna defeated Sandrine Testud in the final. Good luck to all the participants this week!
