The
first event of the women's us open series is the 2013 Bank of West
Classic. Unfortunately there are only two of the top 20 women in this
WTA premier tournament (Redwanska and Former US Open champion Sam
Stosur. The tournament has been hit with four withdraws from Marion
Bartoli, Kirsten Flipkens, Maria Sharapova and Sabine Lisicki due to
various injury related issues. Radwanska faces a potential second
round meet with Franchesca Schivone which could be a interesting
match if Schivone is able to find that good form she does has which
has alluded her for a large part of the season so far. Third seed
Dominika Cibulkova could also be a strong contented for the title
with 5 of her 7 career WTA finals being on hardcovers.

Over
in Azerbaijan the other lower level tournament this week is the Baku
Cup. Serbian Bojana Jovanovski is the number one seen followed by
teen sensation Donna Vekic. This tournament is a golden opportunity
for some younger ranked players (Jabeur, Gavrilova,krunic and the
pliskova sisters) on the tour to get some vital ranking points.
Personally I would expect the title to more likely go Vekic's way as
supposed to Jovanoski despite Vekic's disappointing first round loss
at Wimbledon. Jovanoski has a win loos this season of 12-16 compared
to 16-8 for Vekic who many pundits are tipping her to be a top 20/10
in the near future.
