Try and figure out where Sunfeast Open 2006 organizers spent their appearance money this year, with Top 10er
Martina Hingis as the top seed, and No. 50-ranked Karolina "The Spreminator" Sprem coming in as the No. 2 seed at the event staged in Kolkata, India.
All eyes will be on Hingis this week, as well as No. 5 seed
Sania Mirza whose slide down the WTA Tour Rankings is fast approaching an exit from the Top 100.
Other seeded players form a who's-who (as in, "Who the hell is that?") of women's pro-level tennis in
Yuliana Fedak of the Ukraine, France's
Aravane Rezai, Estonian
Kaia Kanepi, Aussie
Nicole Pratt, and Russian
Anastassia Rodionova.
Only one seeded player faces an opponent in the Top 100.
Wildcards for the event went to Ankita Bhambri (IND),
Sunitha Rao (USA), and
Shikha Uberoi (IND).
Failing to return for the festivities this year is defending champion
Anastasia Myskina, who in last year's final beat Sprem in straight sets.
