2010 Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open Results

Cincinnati Open, one of the tune-up events heading to 2010 US Open was over and this year's edition hasn't been so kind to top players. Why? With great matches was on display, top contenders for the title suffered an early exit. Will these upsets contribute a slight damage in their campaign at Flushing Meadows?

Top seed and defending champion Jelena Jankovic, No.2 seed Caroline Wozniacki, No.6 seed Vera Zvonareva, and No.7 seed Agnieszka Radwanska bowed out in the third round, while No.3 seed Elena Dementieva and No.5 seed Francesca Schiavone have been beaten in their opening match. Leaving the draw wide open and giving No.4 seed Kim Clijsters an easy passage for the title. Did I predicted it right? My pick for Women's Champion.
