No Top 30 players in sight this week at the
Guangzhou International Women's Open in China, where Spain's
Anabel Medina Garrigues fronts the tournament billboards around town.
Other seeded players are
Virginie Razzano, China's own
Shuai Peng,
Dominika Cibulkova,
Olga Poutchkova,
Olga Govortsova,
Lourdes Dominguez Lino, and
Alla Kudryavtseva.
Wildcards went to China's
Shengnan Sun who opens against Medina Garrigues,
Zi Yan, and Chunmei Ji.
In last year's final, Russian
Anna Chakvetadze fortified her eventual run to the Top 10 by steamrolling Medina Garrigues 6-1, 6-4.
