Departure Week

Next week I'll be leaving for Hong Kong so for more than a month I will be unlikely to post regularly or even post at all, but I will make up for it when I get back. Anyway about next week, I've only seen half of the draws but I'll post about them anyway.
In Indianapolis James Blake will headline the seeds, he should feel more comfortable on hard and in America. I will be cheering for Dmitry Tursunov, hopefully he'll do fine as his draw isn't too strong. The usual spread of Americans inhabit the bottom half of the draw but Tommy Haas will be my favourite here. So in Indianapolis I'll be cheering for Tursunov and Haas.
The draw in Amersfoot doesn't seem so interesting to be honest.
Serena will be headlining in Stanford. She should be fine with her early draw but I would love to see Gisela Dulko do some damage. Lindsay Davenport could be a possible threat to get to the quaterfinals but should be not too much of a problem for Serena. Then we have Petrova just off from a good run in Wimbledon, she faces an onslauught of young names before reaching a possible match up with Hantuchova. Bartoli will also be in this draw (sadly) and she will face equally unimpressive Anna Chakvetadze (sorry to her fans). Shahar Peer lurks beneath here. Anyway this draw should be for Serena's taking.
