Notes:

  + Rosset has pulled out of the Australian Open because of illness.

  + Although the Qatar Open is the first of its kind in the region, there
    is another even bigger money tournament that will be held I believe
    in the United Arab Emirates (men's event) following the Australian
    Open.

  + Shi-Ting Wang was ranked #54 at the end of last year.  Some of you
    may remember her sensational upset of Anke Huber in Indianapolis.
