MIAMI, FL, USA - An absolutely packed field heads south this fortnight for the 2007 Sony Ericsson Open, arguably the biggest event on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar outside of the four Grand Slam tournaments.
Maria Sharapova is the No.1 seed at the $3.45-million, Tier I tournament. 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 Crandon Park, notching back-to-back runner-up finishes the last two years. After a first round bye, she will open her campaign against either doubles breakout star Chan Yung-Jan or feisty Spaniard Nuria Llagostera Vives.
