The WTA Tour Championship in Los Angeles' Staples Center this week will be a three-nation affair — with seven of the eight players either Russian or American.

Anastasia Myskina, Elena Dementieva, Svetlana Kuznetsova , Maria Sharapova and Vera Zvonareva led the Russian wave!
Also qualifying were Lindsay Davenport and Serena Williams of the United States and Amelie Mauresmo of France.
