Sharapova Joins WTA Tour Championships Field

Reigning Wimbledon champion is third Grand Slam winner of 2004 to clinch spot in the coveted season-ending event; more big stars wrestling for remaining two spots; four team doubles field now set
ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova will make her first appearance in the WTA Tour Championships presented by Porsche, the Tour announced today.

Sharapova, coming off a final round performance at the Swisscom Challenge in Zurich last week, clinched a spot in the prestigious season-ending tournament November 10-15 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. The 17-year - old Russian tennis sensation adds even more star power to the Championships field, which includes Lindsay Davenport, Amch233;lie Mauresmo, reigning US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, reigning French Open champion Anastasia Myskina and two-time Grand Slam finalist Elena Dementieva.

The final three spots in the Championships doubles field have been filled. Cara Black and Rennae Stubbs, Elena Likhovtseva and Kuznetsova, and Nadia Petrova and Meghann Shaughnessy clinched places in the four-team draw, joining current Porsche Race to the Championships leaders Paola Suarez and Virginia Ruano Pascual, who qualified earlier this month. Black and Stubbs, currently second in the Race standings with 3,122 points, have been particularly hot lately, winning doubles titles at the Swisscom Challenge last week and the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Filderstadt two weeks earlier.

Sharapova, seventh in the latest Porsche Race to the Championships standings with 2,809 points, has been on a meteoric rise since this summer. She captured the world’s attention by winning Wimbledon and has been virtually unstoppable during the fall season, sweeping back -to-back titles (Hansol Korea Open and AIG Japan Open) and 12 straight matches before finally losing in the Swisscom Challenge final. She gives the Championships field three of the four Grand Slam singles winners from 2004.

More marquee names will likely join the Championships field during these final two weeks. Serena Williams (2,596 points), Venus Williams (2,332 points), Jennifer Capriati (2,300 points) and Vera Zvonareva (2,219 points), who are No. 8 through No. 11, respectively, in the Race standings, are battling for the remaining two singles positions (Justine Henin-Hardenne, sixth in the Race standings and out for the year with a continuing virus, is being replaced by the ninth -place finisher) . Serena and Zvonareva are competing at the Generali Ladies Linz in Linz, Austria this week, and all four are scheduled to compete the following week in the Advanta Championships in Philadelphia, setting up what could be one of the most dramatic Race finishes in recent years.

The top eight singles players and the top four doubles teams in the final Porsche Race to the Championships standings qualify for the prestigious Championships. The Championships singles winner will earn $1 million in prize money and a Porsche to donate to their favorite charity.

Austrian tennis star Barbara Schett suffers torn ankle ligaments

Canadian Press

November 5, 2004

INNSBRUCK, Austria (AP) - Barbara Schett tore two ligaments in her right ankle Friday, dealing a blow to Austria's team ahead of the Fed Cup semifinals later this month.

The injury occurred in training, Austrian media reported. It happened just a week after Schett, a former WTA No. 7, announced her plans to retire from professional tennis after the 2005 Australian Open.

Austria upset the United States to reach the Fed Cup semifinals against Russia, starting on Nov. 24 at Moscow's Ice Stadium Krylatskoe.

Spain takes on France in the other semifinal tie, also in Moscow, and the final will be played at the same venue immediately after the semis.

Schett, Austria's top player, helped her nation defeat the U.S. in the quarter-finals, 4-1, winning her singles and doubles matches.
