If I remember correctly, when this tournament was called "Virgina Slims" the top 16 players qualified for the tournament. I don't like this format that it has now because you don't even get to see all the top 10 players in action. This year we did due to injuries. You are right Ms. Marija the best should be left for last.

I think it would make more sense for the Bali tournament to precede the Sony Ericsson Championships. Wouldn't it, Nacho? So that we have the greatest tournament in the end.

Yeah, I was watching. I love the surface, it's really fast and the colors are amazing. And there's no tram lines, I play on courts like that sometimes.

I always knew Marion was going to retire after blowing those set points, yes she cried, but whatever.
