Now that appearance fees are okay with the WTA, I thought it was interesting to see it addressed in the open - I can't recall seeing other articles where it is discussed this clearly, and named as a reason why a tournament can attract desired players.

Kirilenko getting $100,000 + to enter a tournament. Surprised that she is in the 6 figure category. Guess the combination of the looks, and the increased visibilty following the Aussie up'd the change it takes to get her.

Wonder how much Justine was looking for?

Late to the conversation but agree completely as her run to the quarterfinals defeating Sharapova along the way helped tremendously.
