The last WCT on the women's side of the draw was in April and now after a loooong (much needed?) break the women will return to competition! I think all the women will be fired up and ready to go and some may have even learned a few new tricks that they could wack out during competition. Silvana Lima air reverse anyone?
From September 30th to October 5th the Commonwealth Bank WCT event will be underway. It will take place in Sydney, Australia and will feature Sydney's northern beach, Dee Why as competition central. Although for the past 4 years that this event has been running it has taken place at Manly, this year contest directors have decided to move it to Dee Why.
It should be good to see the women get underway again!
This event has never been won by anyone over the age of 21! Will it happen again this year? Last year it was won by this firing grom, Tyler Wright who has gotten herself a wild card again this year. Can she do it again?
With the large number of rookies on tour this year there is a high chance that an under 21-er will take it out!

I certainly hope so. I'm rooting for a rookie to take a WCT event and feel it would be fitting for Aussie girl Sally Fitzgibbons to take this one!
Though you can't look past World Champ Steph Gilmore!
