as most of you may know this week (week of aug.6) there are only 2 events one for ATP and the other for WTA tours.
we'll have the AMS event in montreal,canada. and the L.A. tournament in wta's zone!
we begin with wta's tournament in L.A. in the USA, just a quick look at the event:
====WTA L.A. PREVIEW====
the last week's wta tier I titlist (in san diego) maria sharapova is the top seed here too. last weeks she won her first title of the year after having reached to only her 2nd final of season. after winning in zurich event last october it was her 1st title and in overall her 16th career title! the russian is experiencing her worst season in nearly 5 years.now this week she's again the top seed and everything's going on like last week with the only change of ana ivanovic's appearance this week. the second seed is jelena jankovic, another serbian girl. ana ivanovic,nadia petrova, daniela hantuchova,marion bartoli,martina hingis and dinara safina are all among the top 8 seeds,so all of them will receive a "bye" in the first round. the only dangerous player in sharapova's top half of the draw is elena dementieva who's her compatriot too, as we shouldn't count that much on hantuchova and hingis! swiss miss too is experiencing one of her worst seasons as she's not that lucky off the court too. with her possible-break-up brawl with atp player radek stepanek! the bottom half the draw sees a hot and nice match-up possibilities... as there's a chance of having an all serbian SF,or a spectacular match between dinara safina and ivanovic. this WTA event is a tier II t'ment, with $600.000 as its prize money. the defending champ,russian #9 seed elena dementieva is a possible QF opponent of supernova!
====AMS MONTREAL PREVIEW====
ok,now i'm gonna have another preview of this week's! the AMS event in montreal,canada. last year's champ, roger federer, is still the top seed here as the second seed is spaniard rafael nadal. with novak djokovic's run of form at this year's hard court tournaments it's just expectable to see him as a contender for this event. andy roddick who won his season's 2nd title last week is the #5 seed ,with nikolay davydenko from russia getting on as the 4th seed...however next week we'll probably have A-rod as the #3 seed. i predict a very hard tournament for rafa nadal,as there's a possible 2nd round encounter with wither marat safin or robin soderling. roger federer too has a pretty tough top of the draw as he must get past of likes of lleyton hewitt,tommy robredo,tommy haas and fernando gonzales with a 2nd round possible match versus tall great server ivo karlovic. there's no other outstanding match ups looming from now,as rafael nadal and roger federer's nice rivalry has overshadowed other players... this montreal event is a Masters Series tournament and has offered a total of $2.450.000 as prize money.with the winner's checkpay of $400.000!
