Well, it seems we're getting a repeat of last year with at least 7 of the top twenty women's players withdrawing from the tournament so far.
Including Martina Hingis, which means my reason for watching it is pretty much gone lol. Hingis pulled out in order to have time to rest and prepare for the U.S. Open in a couple of weeks.
Although some press is reporting that she pulled out because of her injuries again, which could be true, but with no real info as of yet who knows?.
I am certain however that the U.S. Open is the main reason everyone else pulled out, not that anyone can truly blame them, with it being a grand slam and all.
But it's really disappointing for Canadian tennis fans, we got dooped again this year. I have a feeling until tennis officials lighten that tour schedule, this will be a constant recurrence.
I'm still thinking of checking the tournament out, but with so many of the big names gone. I'm just not that enthused about it. At least the U.S. Open is not far away. Till then it's back to the waiting game *sigh*.
