Federer, Kuznetsova top seeds
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 03 - 2010

Roger Federer and Svetlana Kuznetsova are the top seeds for the Sony Ericsson Open.
The 13-day tournament began Tuesday with unseeded women in action. Seeded players have a first-round bye, and Federer plays his opening match Saturday night.
The draw was held Monday, and No. 2-seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 4 Rafael Nadal landed in the half opposite Federer. Five-time champion Serena Williams will miss the tournament with a left knee injury. Caroline Wozniacki is seeded second.
Defending champion Victoria Azarenka could meet reigning US Open champion Kim Clijsters in the fourth round.
Justine Henin, making a comeback this year, received a wild card and could face No. 5-seeded Elena Dementieva in the second round.
The French Open, meanwhile, could move out of Paris in the next few years because of infrastructure problems, the Grand Slam's tennis tournament director said Monday.
