2010 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions

Twenty four players have won at least one international tournament, the first criterion to be able to participate in the year-end women's tennis tournament, the Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions. The tournament will be held in Bali for 4-7 November 2010 at the Bali International Convention Centre, in Nusa Dua area.

Not all of the above players would be playing in Bali. Six of them would probably play at the Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha 25-27 October 2010 and will not be allowed to play in Bali, unless the player is only an alternate at the Sony Ericsson Championship. Some of them (USA and Italian players) would not be able to come to Bali as they will play Fed Cup final at the same time.

Take a look at the players who are qualified for Bali and Doha and the possible qualified players based on their current WTA ranking and the singles ranking at the Race to Sony Ericsson Championship.

Malaysian Open and Thailand PTT Open

I have booked tickets for Malaysian Open and Thailand PTT Open from 24 September 2010 to 4 October 2010, but could not go there for the tournament. Yeah, it's a pity, but the works in the office cannot be left. I need to work.

While missing the chance to meet Nadal, Verdasco, Gulbis, Del Potro, Soderling, Davydenko, Berdych, Ferrer, Youzhni, Nisikori, etc. in person, I could still follow their performances on TV and the internet.

I am waiting for Nadal-Gulbis match. I also would like to see how Nisikori develop his skill to face the Top 10 power house players like Berdych and Soderling.

Hopefully next year I can make it to KL and Bangkok. I would need to find a sidekick then.
