2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships Preview

NOTE: This is my own version of draw analysis on 2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships. In this self-version of draw analysis, I will pick who I think will be 2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Champion.

The 2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships at Istanbul hosting for the 2nd year will be more interesting. As the top 8 contenders have reached semifinals or better at the Grand Slam tournaments — five of those are title holders (with 22 titles between them) and two are finalists.

Such strong contenders, expect the exciting and quality matches that these players will be offered to us, and of course, the drama. The top 8 players vying for the title to be crowned as 2012 WTA Champion are No.1 Victoria Azarenka, No.2 Maria Sharapova, No.3 Serena Williams, No.4 Agnieszka Radwanska, No.5 Angelique Kerber, No.6 Petra Kvitova, No.7 Sara Errani, and No.8 Li Na.

The 2011 edition of WTA year-end championship is quite interesting as draw is pretty wide open. Even though it is composed of four Grand Slam title holders, namely French Open Champion Li Na, Wimbledon Champion Petra Kvitova, US Open Champion Samantha Stosur and three-time Grand Slam titlist Maria Sharapova, every woman in the top 8 has a shot for the coveted title. With the absence of WTA dominating figure, the Williams sisters and defending champion Kim Clijsters, it is interesting too see who will emerge victorious and how fierce the competition will be with the No.1 ranking on the line.
