Williams Sisters, Loaded Field at WTA Rome
Internazionalo BNL D’Italia
Rome, Italy
Surface: clay
Top 8 Seeds: Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Dinara Safina, Venus Williams, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Elena Dementieva, Jelena Jankovic, Aggie Radwanska
Floaters: Maria Kirilenko, (Q) Karoline Sprem, Melanie Oudin, (Q) Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Ana Ivanovic, Daniela Hantuchova
Notes: The loaded Rome field contains nine of the Top 10 players after Sam Stosur dropped out; openers of interest include Oudin vs. (Q) Mattek-Sands in an all-American (winner to face (7) Jankovic), (11) Yanina Wickmayer vs. (Q) Sprem, and (13) Francesca Schiavone vs. Hantuchova; sad that Ivanovic is no threat; where is Henin?; Safina beat Kuznetsova in last year’s final.
