Hobart and Sydney WTA Draws

On the womens side the draws are also really exciting with 6 Top 10 players aligned for the Medibank International - though two weeks in Sharapova still hasn't made an appearance, could mean she still isn't back to form.
Serena Williams (MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE TOP 10 FEMALE PLAYER) headlines the draw with home favourite Samantha Stosur and Casey Dellacqua on her side, of course there is also the tough cookie of Sara Errani. The draw looks even more tough when you span slightly down and see Dominika Cibulkova on Serena's part of the draw (and I guess I have to add Marion Bartoli).
Well Serena normally plays better with competition so we'll see what happens here. Last weeks winner Elena Dementieva is third seed here with the likes of Victoria Azarenka (another winner from last week) and Agnieszka Radwanska in her section of the draw; it's definitely going to be a tough set up here. We also have the possibilities of Sybille Bammer and Daniela Hantuchova rising to the competition.
Kuznetsova and Zvonareva heads the next part of the draw, though I don't like them that much I do agree that it should be a difficult match. Shuai Peng, Kaia Kanepi, Ai Sugiyama and Anabel Medina Garrigues are in this section of the draw - all capabale of toppling some of the big names once in a while.
Nadia Petrova will have Alize Cornet to worry about in the first round of the draw whilst Dinara Safina the 2nd seed will have Sorana Cirstea. Whilst I have to mention Maria Kirilenko; one of my favourite players.
All in all the Medibank International looks like a tough tournament - hopefully not too many favourites lose in the early stages!
In Hobart - Morilla Hobart International, we have another of my favourite players Flavia Pennetta who is No.1 seed!!!! I think Pennetta is capable of beating the players in her part of the draw but I need to see her result against Peer before I can make a judgement.
Jie Zheng who definitely caused a stir last year will have Tamarina Tanasugarn; an Asian compatriot to keep her company. Two of my favourite players Gisela Dulko and Nicole Vaidisova are in this draw. Hopefully Nicole will be able to step up her game and make me proud by at least reaching the quarters because her draw isn't all that difficult - but saying that last year she had some really easy draws but still lost out.
The third quarter of the draw sees Alona Bondarenka and Anna Chakvetadze with a score of other less known players. I'm actually taking a liking towards Chakvetadze maybe because she is at a ranking she deserves rather than in the Top 10!
Agnes Szavay and the every present Patty Schnyder are in this side of the draw with dangers like Anne Keothavong (finally I get to say that for a British player) and Olga Govortsova lurking beneath. Agnes didn't have a good end to the year last year so Anne maybe able to make a shock because I haven't seen her making a mark on the higher ranked players.
