The Australian Open has just finished and it’s immediately time to play some other tournaments.
Pattaya is definitely a nice one as it is played in a very relaxing environment… and it’s not “too many time zones away” from Melbourne.
Top seeds in Pattaya are Lisicki, Kuznetsova, Cirstea, Makarova, Vesnina, Muguruza, Mattek-Sands and Peng.
A player to watch that can cause a couple of upsets is 16 years old Belinda Bencic that is finding her way through the qualifications.
Last year’s champion was Maria Kirilenko that has defeated Sabine 5-7 6-1 7-6 (1). See article
