Welcome to Tokyo, Japan! New venue, new timing, but the same tournament. Toray Pan Pacific Open has been moved from the beginning of the year to its last months, but as always promises a line-up including some of the biggest stars from the Tour. Ana Ivanović will try to defend her title, but she will face a tough opposition in the likes of Janković, Dementieva and Hantuchova. Can some players continue their hot streak, or can others manage to find their game again? Vote now as the event gets started with the qualifying competition!
