[Qutlsilh]

Wasn't this tournament won by Kvitova last year?

[Alkassyinhisk]

Wasn't this tournament won by Kvitova last year?

Singles
Main article: 2011 Open GDF Suez – Singles
Petra Kvitová def. Kim Clijsters, 6–4, 6–3.

It was Kvitová's second title of the year and third career title. Via wikipedia

[Qutlsilh]

I thought so... Sharapova will take over #2 albeit still more than 1000 points behind Azarenka.

[ViagraFeller]

This is a little strange. There are NO former champions in the draw in Paris. There is only one former finalist, and it's Lucie Safarova!

Wild.

[MpNelQTU]

Kvitova said that Fed Cup-Paris-Dubai last year was too much and made her sick.

[Alkassyinhisk]

Kanepi, shoulder and Lisicki, illness have withdrawn. Revised draw above.

What was wrong with Li that she retired during her match with Big Sexy?

What was wrong with Li that she retired during her match with Big Sexy?
