WTA Previews: Seoul, Tashkent; Sharipova!
Posted on September 20, 2009
HANSOL KOREA OPEN
Seoul, Korea
Surface: hard
Seeds: Daniela Hantuchova, Anabel Medina Garrigues, Francesca Schiavone, Sorana Cirstea, Alisa Kleybanova, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkva, Vera Dushevina, Sybille Bammer
Floaters: Maria Kirilenko, Katarina Srebotnik, Anna-Lena Groenefeld
Notes: (4) Cirstea vs. Groenefeld in the first round; defending champ Kirilenko unseeded.
Tashkent Open
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Surface: hard
Seeds: Yaroslava Shvedova, Shahar Peer, Ioana Raluca Olaru, Olga Govortsova, Stefanie Voegele, Monica Niculescu, Patricia Mayr, Galina Voskoboeva
Floaters: none, unless you count the event as a brown floater
Notes: Perhaps the most exciting, misleading note about the Tashkent Open is the name of Uzbekistan wildcard Sabine Sharipova; defending champ Sorana Cirstea is playing in Seoul this week.
