The girls will go through Seoul, Tashkent and Tokyo before finally heading to the China Open in Beijing in October, a $4.5 million dollar event.

 

 

Anabel Medina Garrigues is the top seed, having a terrific season so far this year, her best so far in fact. She took her ninth singles win at Fes this last April on the clay courts, as well as making the French Open doubles title her own for the second year in a row. The number two seed is Zheng Jie, and with only two semifinal appearances in the past three tournaments she'll want to try to make it a bit farther this time. Last year, she was beaten by Vera Zvonareva, who went on to win the tournament. However, she has been doing quite well this year, making it to the quarters in L.A. And all the way intot he third round at the U.S. Open.

 

 

Last year's opponent to Zvonareva was Peng Shuai, and this year is the third seed for this tournament. Number four is Katarina Srebotnik, who was out of the U.S. Open because of injuries but will be competing in this tournament. Number five seed is Israeli Shahar Peer.
