Without a Top 20 player in sight, the Tier IV Banka Koper Slovenia Open in Portoroz begs the question how this is a tour event on the 2005 WTA calendar.
Italy's Silvia Farina Elia heads the seeds, joined by Spain's
Anabel Medina Garrigues, Czechs
Kveta Peschke, Klara Koukalova and
Iveta Benesova, France's
Marion Bartoli, Slovenia's own
Katarina Srebotnik, and another Italian in
Roberta Vinci.
Portoroz is a new event on the 2005 WTA calendar.
