Korea Open:
Some interesting name as Caroline Wozniacki, no more a top 10, who leads the seeding getting the #1 and Maria Kirilenko as #2 playing here.
This is a very open field with some of the bomb-server as #5 Goerges and #4 Petrova, but also open to some unseeded surprises such as Paszek and 2011 finalist and winner Voskoboeva and Martinez-Sanchez, or Giorgi and Hercog that hava to upset #6 Lepchenko and #8 Makarova at the first round.
Very hard to say who's favourite here, I don't trust Wozniacki, Kirilenko seems strong and is having a great season, but she can lose suddenly, even though she's looked solid in previous matches.

Guangzhou:
Bartoli is #1 as she's now 10 in WTA, and the wide gap between her and the #2 seed Zheng (23 WTA) makes the french clear favored to the title.
Surface's slight differences should suit to some Tashkent's upsets like Niculescu, Cornet and Urszula Radwanska, here the court should be slower and with higher bounces and the defensive game of these three should work better.

Moselle Open:
Decent quality in this.
Tsonga #1 (also 2011 winner) wide favored and without great problem up to the final: #6 Nieminen in his quarter and #3 Granollers (back from the Davis Cup on clay) or #8 Davidenko in the semi.
More interesting the bottom half, and in particular the bottom quarter, where #7 Monfils will make his come back after almost 5 months, Rochus to handle at the first round is a great test, 3-3 the head to head. In the same quarter there's #2 Kohlschreiber, and what should be a must-to-see match: Paire-Malisse.

St.Petersbourg:
Low quality in this, though the #1 Youzhny is not one who inspires blind trust so many possibilities for some young who are doing a great season and improving their ranking like Klizan, Zopp, or even Istomin (who would have thought it? he's #2) or (I'd love it) Petzschner.

Today, R1 in Moselle Open:
Albano Olivetti - James Blake: Olivetti 3 units @2.45 -3
A huge value in it.
The first time I've seen this young frenchmen playing was in february, an indoor open in Marseille.
As unknown Olivetti started from qualies and reached the quarter-final losing to Llodra a very tight match.
He's a very solid server and plays serve and volley, on very fast court he can be very dangerous.
No wonder he has a 69/48 record on indoor, while Blake is 65/50, with an age difference of 12 years.
