WTA Tennis – Mercury Insurance Open preview
In the North America, the Mercury Insurance Open marks the second event of the women’s 2010 hard court summer season. On August 2, it is scheduled to start; it will also coincide with another hard court tournament in Copenhagen, Denmark. For preparing for the upcoming US Open, which starts in less than a month, there is no doubt that this event in Carlsbad, although California is the better option.
Several top 10 ten players including sports betting stars, Jelena Jankovic, Samantha Stosur, and Vera Zvonareva will be featured in the 2010 Mercury Insurance Open. Including Flavia Pennetta, Victoria Azarenka, and Svetlana Kuznetsova, there will be eight players too, who are ranked between 10-20 in the world. So to win this tournament, who exactly are the favorites? It is tough to predict.
In the Mercury Insurance Open, the truth is that players who are currently competing at the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford will carry plenty of momentum. Interestingly, in Stanford, Maria Sharapova and Elena Dementieva are both currently playing but have not committed to playing in Carlsbad.
For the upcoming Mercury Insurance Open, Samantha Stosur, who is seeded first at Stanford, appears to be in great shape, where she will be seeded second behind Jelena Jankovic. Stosur since her early loss at Wimbledon has not played any tournaments, but she looks forward to playing her best on the American hard courts. Jankovic is not necessarily the heavy favorite to win the Mercury Insurance Open, despite being the first seed. In fact, in her second round match in Slovenia she retired, which was also on hard courts, last week.
