TOURNAMENT PREVIEWS Sony Ericsson Open boasts Grand Slam-caliber field MIAMI, FL, USA - An absolutely packed field heads south this fort- night for the Sony Ericsson Open, arguably the biggest event on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar outside of the Grand Slams. Maria Sharapova is the top seed at the $3.45-million, Tier I tour- nament. The Russian teenager hasn’t won a title so far this season, but has still shown solid form, her results including reaching her third career major final at the Australian Open. And she has also been impressive on the hardcourts of the Tennis Center at Cran- don Park, notching back-to-back runner-up finishes the last two years. After a first round bye, she will open against either doubles breakout star Chan Yung-Jan or Spain’s . The world’s current No.1 player, Justine Henin, is seeded No.2 this fortnight. With Sharapova’s early loss at Indian Wells, Henin regained her top ranking this week, but not in time for the seedings here. Regardless, she can’t be overlooked as a top threat. The Belgian is coming off back-to-back title runs in the Middle East at Dubai and Doha, and despite never going truly deep into the Miami Venus Williams is part of packed top eighth of the draw; she could play Maria draw (her best showings have been quarterfinal finishes, in 2003 Sharapova in the third round, with the winner potentially facing Serena Williams. © Action Images / Reuters and 2005), she seems to be playing some of her best tennis in recent weeks.
