:confused: I didn't think it would come out for another week.

Miki Miyamura has been rewarded a qually wildcard.

http://serenawilliams.com/home/content/category/3/7/38/

Serena Williams will play here as well if nothing gets in the way!

Hmm strange
the website has published a full entry list for 2008 already, when it isn't expected for weeks. It is certainly this years list because players like Morita and kleybanova didn't play last year :confused:
http://www.toray-ppo.co.jp/web/pc/english/2008profile/

No Serena either :o although there is a spare wildcard

Kimiko got a Qual wildcard.It'll be interesting. ;)

excited for kimiko!:bounce:

http://www.toray-ppo.co.jp/web/pc/english/2008profile/
The qualifying list is also out, Hisamatsu has got the 3rd qually wildcard so only 1 wildcard left.

Really strange that the list is already out... :eek:

No Rena :(

lists can still change

entries close next week

so it is still indoors or changed to outdoors?

Its outdoors now, the same place where the AIG Open is played at.

GOOD LUCK to LI NA

Its outdoors now, the same place where the AIG Open is played at.

It sucks, is there any WTA tournament that use carpet nowadays. :sad:

GL to Kimiko. :)

I hope Nali won` withdrew!

Its outdoors now, the same place where the AIG Open is played at.
Why? What's the point of playing 2 tournaments at the same exact location with only 2 weeks seperating them?

In the past, there was the 2 different surfaces : indoor carpet & outdoor carpet. Plus there was over half a year seperating when they were played.

This leaves Martina as the last true winner of tht Tokyo PPO. :)

Paris and Zurich are listed as being greenset indoors on the Wta website. Does that count?

No, it isn't Carpet.

I wonder which top Russians will play here after leaving hardcourts in NYC, going to claycourt Madrid for Fed Cup final and going back to hardcourts for Tokyo PP. So going around the globe in 3 weeks switching surfaces :help:

Vera not playing here seems a sure bet for Madrid but she will be one of the weakest links (still a very strong one) for the Spaniards on clay...

The Entry list of the PP website is completely wrong;

1. Jelena Jankovic - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
2. Ana Ivanovic - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
3. Svetlana Kuznetsova - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
4. Serena Williams - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
5. Maria Sharapova -
6. Dinara Safina - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
7. Elena Dementieva - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
8. Venus Williams - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
9. Agnieszka Radwanska - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
10. Anna Chakvetadze - New Haven, US Open, Tokyo (PP)
11. Vera Zvonareva - US Open
12. Daniela Hantuchova - US Open, Bali, Tokyo (PP)
13. Marion Bartoli - New Haven, US Open, Tokyo (PP)
14. Agnes Szavay - New Haven, US Open, Tokyo (PP)
15. Patty Schnyder - US Open, Bali, Guangzhou
16. Victoria Azarenka - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
17. Flavia Pennetta - New Haven, US Open, Bali, Tokyo (PP)
18. Alize Cornet - New Haven, US Open, Tokyo (PP)
19. Dominika Cibulkova - US Open, Tokyo (PP)
20. Nicole Vaidisova - US Open, Tokyo (PP)

The PP List was published before the entry deadline closed. They haven't updated it yet since.

I know it's still early and therefore the list is subject to changes, but WOW :eek: How long has it been since the PPO had such a strong entry list??

Iveta in qualies ??

MD Change ;

V.Williams OUT - Sugiyama IN


*Sugiyama was in because of the "Gold Exempt on the next in MD list" rule.

Read earlier posts! This was only 10 posts ago.... on previous page... :p:help:

So Serena Williams is still in and the draw is made in 2 days!!!!!

Anybody know if Caroline has withdrawn from Tokyo [PPO] and Beijing (China Open) ?
Now in the schedule on WTAtour website she will play Tokyo Japan Open and Moscow... It may be too much playing 6 weeks in a row and possible travel to Doha. Tobi has not said she has withdrawn so it may be an error...

One Question: Is Serena Williams Playing Or No???

Can not find Serena in official site
Mauresmo is the last one in MD, seems as late entry.

Mauresmo got the last wildcard, the Gold/Silver wc.

She is still in Tokyo list but they havent updated the list for today yet.

Same for Beijing.

Here is the update ;

MD Change

S.Williams OUT - Razzano IN


qualies from Srebotnik to A.Cohen

Voila! I expect at least one more big name pulling out in the coming days.

Rena :rolleyes: :mad:

Soooooooo expected

I can understand though. She won the USO a few days ago!

So from the website, I am guessing that Mel South has withdrawn.......right?

So from the website, I am guessing that Mel South has withdrawn.......right?
No.

She is still in quali.

Q:WC Hisamatsu.Date.Miyamura and NARA.
Nara won two junior?tournaments before US Open.

ok so as it stands chakvetadze should be the #8 seed as far as i can tell, thank god i cant remember the last time she was unseeded!

No.

She is still in quali.

Thanks Tobi! I think I will just be easier on you by asking for an update only a week before tourny starts as I feel like I probably make your life a living hell asking the same shit over and over again.

At least you are asking sensible questions.I mean there is no point to ask players when the first lists published,week before the event will do in my opinion but I can understand curiosity of people.

When does the qualy and MD come out? :p

Thanks :)

Just out of curiosity - how accurate is an average initial list (non-GS, 6 weeks before)? About 80-90%, right?

Yurika Sema ????? can play in Toray Q.

when will the draw come out?

When does the qualy and MD come out? :p

Singles Qualifying Sign-In:
Sep 12, Friday between 1-4pm

Main Draw Ceremony
Sep 14, Sunday,
Interview Room,
Time 15:30 (provisional)

Just out of curiosity - how accurate is an average initial list (non-GS, 6 weeks before)? About 80-90%, right?
MD lists are generally accurate but depends on the event,Guangzhou now has 15 MD Changes in it.

Qualies arent accurate I would say,though priorities 1,2,3 has its effect on it as well.

Yurika Sema ????? can play in Toray Q.
In quali list.

thanks Tobi :)

Did Sam pull out? How come she's not in the qualy draw? :sad:

Did Sam pull out? How come she's not in the qualy draw? :sad:
