Anna Chakvetadze, who will run for parliament in Russia in the elections that will be held on December 4, was named the "Sexiest Woman" in Russian politics. Former top 5 player Chakvetadze is also planning a return to the WTA after spending much of 2011 dealing with dizziness. She only played 14 matches this season and has seen her ranking fall to No. 229. The WTA confirmed to TENNIS.com that she will use her special ranking to enter the tournament in Hobart, which begins the second week of January.
