INDIAN WELLS: The 2006 Draw
07/03/2006:
The draw for the 2006 edition of the Pacific Life Open at Indian Wells was
made on Monday, and it looks to be a firecracker of a tournament. There will
be four trophy holders of this event from the previous years in the draw.
Justine's return to Indian Wells has her seeded once again at #1 in
California. She received a bye for the first round, and her opening match
will be a second round with Pironkova or Ruano-Pascal.
Justine seeded #1 is in the top half of the draw with #4 seed Elena
Dementieva. The bottom half stars #2 seed Lindsay Davenport, and #3 seed
Maria Sharapova. Justine could face an opening match with the surprise victor
over Venus Williams at the Australian Open, youngster Tsvetana Pironkova
ranked #76. The 18 year old Bulgarian maybe new territory for Justine; they
have never played each other. The Spaniard, Viriginia Ruano-Pascal is a
player whose game the Belgian knows well, and she leads their head to head
4-0.
If Justine wins her opening match she could face, Santangelo, a recent first
time career WTA title winner at a Bangalore Tier III. Potential opponents in
the 4th, and quarterfinals are rising in the ranks Golovin, Peng Shuai,
Safarova, and Pennetta. The semi-finals could be another rousing match with
Elena Dementieva, but the #4 seed must work her way through a tough array of
rising rookies Ivanovic, Kirilenko, Chakvetadze, and Mirza.
The highlight of the bottom half of the draw, anchored by Maria Sharapova and
Lindsay Davenport, is the potential match of the Californian #2 seed, and
Martina Hingis in the 4th round.
We'll have more Justine news, and stories about her return to Indian Wells.
