Warsaw at center court

From April 28 to May 6, some of the biggest international stars in women's tennis will compete for a title and a $600,000 (zł.2,285,600) prize in the Warsaw leg of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.

Qualifying matches will take place on April 28-29, with qualifying finals held on Monday, April 30. Four rounds of matches will be played over the course of the week, with the final round wrapping up the tournament on Sunday, May 6.

Mokotów's Warszawianka tennis complex will host the event. This year's tournament features a roster of greats such as last year's winner Kim Clijsters from Belgium and her compatriot Justine Henin, Russia's Elena Dementieva and Svetlana Kuznetsova, the US' Venus Williams, and Poland's darling, Agnieszka Radwańska, who shined at last year's event when she beat Russia's star player, Anastasia Myskina.

An exhibition doubles match featuring international legends of men's tennis will be played on the morning of the finals. Spain's Sergi Bruguera and Austria's Thomas Muster will play against France's Guy Forget and Poland's Wojciech Fibak.

The Warszawianka tennis complex has recently undergone renovations. The site features a total of 29 courts, though the J&S Cup matches will be played in the upper courts, the center court and four side courts.
