PTT Pattaya Women's Open

Vera Zvonareva, Caroline Wozniacki, Dominika Cibulkova and Sybille Bammer (where Nadia Petrova and Victoria Azarenka are, we have no idea) headline the field. Here is the main draw:

V Zvonareva (Rus) 1 vs A Klepac (Slo)
Y Shvedova (Kaz) vs T Paszek (Aut)
G Voskoboeva (Kaz) vs J Groth (née Gajdosova (Svk))
M Santangelo (Ita) vs S Peng (Chn) 5
S Bammer (Aut) 4 vs U Radwanska (Pol)
V Dushevina (Rus) vs E Bovina (Rus)
A Rodionova (Rus) vs Qualifier
N Lertcheewakarn (Tha) WC vs S Peer (Isr) 7
T Tanasugarn (Tha) 6 vs A Amanmuradova (Uzb)
J Moore (Aus) vs N Silva (Por)
S Mirza (Ind) vs N Lertpitaksinchai (Tha) WC
Qualifier vs D Cibulkova (Svk) 3
M Rybarikova (Svk) 8 vs K Date Krumm (Jpn)
Qualifier vs Qualifier
K Pervak (Rus) vs T Yonemura (Jpn)
Y-J Chan (Tpe) vs C Wozniacki (Den) 2

We would have to select Vera Zvonareva as the favourite, although her draw through to the semi finals could well be quite tricky. Wozniacki also looks like a good bet for the title, but she should watch out for Ksenia Pervak, the recently crowned Australian Open Girls champion. Home favourite Tamarine Tanasugarn has quite an easy draw for the first two rounds, but we doubt she would get past Dominika Cibulkova. We're looking forward to the Date Krumm and Rybarikova match, which has much potential.
