Europe-Africa Women's Open Fantasy Tennis 2011

The final year-end rankings have been released already and it's time to play fantasy tennis using the continents.  This will be the first year for the combined Europe-Africa Women's Open Fantasy Tennis 2011.

If no African player can enter in the Top 16, the last three slots will be allotted to them, meaning seeds #14, 15 and 16.  For this year, we will go immediately to the round of 16 and use the seedings used in the Beijing Open.

A country can have as many players as the rankings show.  There will be no limitations per entry per country.
