A total of 32 players will enter the singles competition for prize money of 380,000 US dollars.

*sigh* Seems like JC has not learned the importance of scheduling his tournaments so as to reduce fatigue from travelling =( Hopefully he'll come to his senses afterall don't want him to end the year tired and out of gas like last year...
