Is Haas playing? Or is The Donald going to get direct entry, thus making the WC issue look even more dumb in retrospect.

[bpejjssoe]

As of now Haas is still in. He's one of the players considered to be "on the bubble" to use a television term.
If The Donald gets into the MD via a withdrawal that would be funny ho-ho indeed.

[Vomephems]

Oddsmakers right now have Vika as the favorite, Caro 2nd, Maria 3rd. Also at 10-1 or less, Vera (4th), Sam (5th), Petra (6th) and Kim (7th). Jelena, Franny and Julia G round out the top 10 faves.

A player who withdrew from her last match is the favorite

Yes. I'm surprised too. I didn't expect her back until the summer hard court swing.

Kim Clijsters to play French Open
Monday, 16 May 2011 15:19 UK

Kim Clijsters has confirmed she will play at the French Open after recovering from an ankle injury.

Clijsters was beaten by Justine Henin in the 2003 French Open final Kim Clijsters has confirmed she will play at the French Open after recovering from an ankle injury.

The world number two strained ligaments at her cousin's wedding in April but resumed training earlier in May.

Clijsters will play the tournament at Roland Garros, which gets under way on Sunday, with her ankle taped up.

The 27-year-old Belgian, winner of the Australian Open in January, said: "Playing is going wonderfully. I am hitting the ball very well."

Clijsters, who is also the reigning US Open champion, added ahead of the clay-court tournament: "Increasingly I am going for it. I am not totally without pain, but the strong tape round my ankle gives me sufficient security.

"The advantage is that I still have the spirit of the past Grand Slam tournaments. If I play well, I can win. Attitude is very important, even though the situation is physically very different."

Clijsters, who has also fully recovered from unrelated shoulder and wrist injuries, has never won the French Open on what is perceived to be her weakest surface, but has twice been runner-up at Roland Garros .

And Pironkova gets her requisite 32nd seed at a Grand Slam.

Wow. I'm thrilled for Kim. But now I'm dreading the women's suicide pool even more. Not that it will matter. 92% of us will be out on day 1 or 2.

[Hsmrcahr]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Kim won.

Kim's going to play the French with heavy strapping round her ankle. Not ideal in the long run - she must really fancy her chances this year http://twitter.com/#!/DrewLilley

[Finkevannon]

That BBC article brings up an interesting point. It mentions that clay is "widely considered" to be Kim's worst surface. I never really got that. She's been in 2 French finals, her movement really helps her out and it's not like she's a grass court lock or anything. I know she herself hasn't expressed a ton of love for the clay surface in recent years. Is that what they mean?
