Anna has the tendency to play about 300 places below herself in US tourneys though. Hopefully she can find some form out there as she's got 4 straight events this month and little to defend till mid-March
300 places below herself is still 400 places above this girls career high so Anna really really should win. I hope she starts the year well, as you say it could be a lucrative few months if she's on form.

Nina Pantic (CAN) v Keren Shlomo (ISR) (13)Claudine Schaul (LUX) v Tori Kinard (USA)
Claudine Schaul is a big obstacle to qualifying. She is a former top 50 player, forced out for 9 months in 2006/7 and just starting to get results again in 50 - 100K Challengers at the back end of 2007.
