Saudi King Abdullah holds talks with Poland’s president

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah arrived in Warsaw on Monday for two days of talks with Poland’s leaders on bolstering economic ties and fighting organized crime.

Opening the first visit ever by a Saudi king to Poland, Abdullah met with President Lech Kaczynski, who greeted him with a military honor guard in the yard of the Presidential Palace in downtown Warsaw. The king was also to hold talks with Economy Minister Piotr Wozniak later in the day.

On Tuesday, Abdulld closing out the third set in 20 minutes.

Tim Henman and Marat Safin were also to play Monday. On the women’s side, two-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams was scheduled to face Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain, and French Open champion Justine Henin, third-ranked Jelena Jankovic.

Defending champion Amelie Mauresmo will start her tournament against Jamea Jackson of the United States. The fourth-seeded Frenchwoman won two Grand Slam titles last year, but she missed nearly two months of action after having an appendectomy in March.

We are probably, I don’t know, four or five (who are) able to get the trophy this year,’ said Mauresmo, who lost in the third round at the French Open. Yeah, I do consider myself part of these four or five.’
