Now that I'm back, I think I need to summarize Martina's upcoming schedule for those who might not be in the know as yet...
Like I said earlier, she is playing Doha next week with Liezel Horn-Huber.
Martina will not be playing Indian Wells this year...
She will be in Miami next for the Nasdaq-100 Open. Martina has not missed this event since 2001.
She is definitely not playing Amelia Island or Charleston this year.
There is a possibility Martina will make her claycourt season debut in Warsaw in May for the J&S Cup. This would mark her first tour appearance in Poland since winning the European Amateur Championships as a 17-year-old in 1974 in Wrclaw - a result that has since been carelessly omitted from her WTA Tour record.
Martina will be making a return to Prague in May for the ECM Prague Open. This will be her first-ever WTA Tour event in Prague. The news attracted a lot of media attention as the following sources will attest: Reuters, AFP, The Prague Daily Monitor. The original articles in Czech from Mlada Fronta Dnes can be read here and here. Martina last played competitively in the Czech Republic in 1999 in Prague, an exhibition mixed doubles match with Jan Kodes against Helena Sukova & Jiri Hrebec. Martina & Jan won the pro-set match, 9-6.
Rome follows with the Italian Open. Martina has never skipped this event since her return to the tour in May 2000.
Roland Garros, of course, is next.
Martina confirms she will be returning to Eastbourne this year. Last year, she opted to skip Eastbourne for 's-Hertogenbosch.
To be following, naturally, by Wimbledon...
Besides Doha - and perhaps Prague where she might play with Kveta Hrdlickova-Peschke - we don't know who Martina's doubles partner is going to be at the remaining events. She has indicated that she would like to play a few events with Martina Hingis...
