CHARLESTON: The Draw
08/04/2006:
The terre battue (clay) season will begin for Justine this Monday at the
Family Circle Cup in Charleston, SC. She'll be given the honors at longest
running women's Tier 1 tournament in the United States, and seeded #1. The
draw was announced on Saturday, and features some of the Belgians biggest
clay court rivals. Tennis fans can look forward to more European flair than
ever at this year's event.
The city of Charleston not only features historic American charm, but
personal memories for Justine. The wins at Family Circle Cup set the tone for
her championship runs to Roland Garros at Paris in 2003, and 2005. Will
Justine be able to win again at the Family Circle Cup?
The world's greatest 1-handed backhand virtuoso has a bye in the 1st round.
In the 2nd round she'll face off with either Czech Iveta Benesova or Austrian
Sybille Bammer. Justine's played Iveta last year in Charleston defeating her
in two sets in the 3rd round. For this year's 3rd rounder the Belgian 4x
grand slam champion could play another solid Czech Kveta Peschke (WTA# 35).
She may then cross paths with Russian Dinara Safina or Serbian Jelena
Jankovic in the quarterfinals, and duel with the Swiss top spin wizard Patty
Schnyder in the semi-final.
The bottom half of the draw stars the Belgian's huge clay court rivals Nadia
Petrova, and Svetlana Kuznetsova. Other names to look out for are rising
young challengers Nicole Vaidisova, and Anne-Lena Groenfeld. Justine will
play her first match on Tuesday or Wednesday.
*Kuznetsova retired her semi-final match against Schiavone in Amelia Island
today. If there are any changes to the Charleston draw, we will keep you
posted on the latest news.
Allez Justine!
