The opening matches of theTEB BNP 2011 in Istanbul

 World No. 2 Maria Sharapova will be at the BNP game in Istanbul.

 

Cool Samantha Stosur reigning US open champion will be at the game too.

Top players are once again gathered at the TEB BNP 2011 in Istanbul. Current World Number two Maria Sharapova who has a pretty decent year so far climbing up in ranking to World Number two is one player definitely to watch. She will be playing with Li Na the French Open champion. Other players in this title race include Samantha Stosur who is possibly one of the coolest players out on the court. 

She is also the US Open Champion and consistently in the top 5 players in the World. Victoria Azarenka the Wimbledon champion will be playing with her in this challenge. Among these players include the World Number One player Caroline Wozniacki. 

This event is by far the competition with highest cash price for Women's tennis. One of the reasons of making this the richest event and gathering the elites of WTA is to boost its efforts in clinching the Olympic's hosting rights.
