Players at Qatar Berlin Open Confirmed

The following list of players have been confirmed by QTF:

Amelie Mauresmo
Justine Henin-Hardenne
Mary Pierce
Nadia Petrova
Elena Dementieva
Patty Schnyder
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Anna Ivanovic
Elena Likhovtseva
Anna Groenefeld

In addition, Serena Williams has been confirmed as also partaking in the event. I’d almost forgotten she was around! Now ranked number 61, the Williams sister has been battling health problems for a while, so it’s questionable whether she will actually show up. I wouldn’t count on it, personally. At this stage it’s really more likely that she will be out for the 2006 season.
