This event is not strong but could contain a couple of decent subplots. Henin must face Szavay very early on -- can she bounce back over this dangerous youngster or will we see more signs that this year belongs to the 21 and under set? (Note: Szavay is 19, while Sharapova and Chakvetadze are still 20!) And there may be a Justine vs Anna final brewing -- Chak's first finals loss? Stay tuned :>
I wondered about the possible Anna/Justine final, too.
Actually, I think Szavay may run into trouble in her first round.
