No Top 20 in Sight this Week at WTA Portoroz

Posted on September 18, 2006

The Slovenia Open kicks off this week in Portoroz, where Katarina Srebotnik heads a field void of any Top 20 players on the WTA Tour Rankings.

Also among the seeded are Italians Mara Santangelo, Tathiana Garbin, Maria Elena Camerin and Romina Oprandi, Austrian Sybille Bammer, German Martina Muller, and France's Emilie Loit.

In last year's final the now-retired Klara Koukalova beat Srebotnik 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.
