New Haven (USA), Tier II, $600,000
The last tournament before the US Open will feature a weak draw for a Tier II, as the top seeds Anna Chakvetadze, Daniela Hantuchova, Marion Bartoli, Agnes Szavay and Patty Schnyder are having a dissapointing season so far. They will have to face young talents as Caroline Wozniacki, Dominika Cibulkova or Alize Cornet and solid players such as Flavia Pennetta, Katarina Srebotnik or Maria Kirilenko, so upsets are expected.
Forest Hills (USA), Tier IV, $74,800
The smallest event of the WTA Tour features a singles draw of just 16 players, with no qualifying and doubles draws. Anyway it will be a good chance to watch some young promising players such as Marina Erakovic, Carla Suarez, Timea Bacsinszky or Ekaterina Makarova facing more experienced players such as Vera Dushevina, Lucie Safarova, Iveta Benesova or Shuai Peng.
