Supposing that none of the players withdraw at some point, this year’s Rogers Cup in Montreal is promising to be a thing of beauty, as the top 5 women’s players are scheduled to hit the court.
Top-ranked Amelie Mauresmo of France and last year’s finalists - Kim Clijsters (ranked No. 2 in the world) and Justine […]
