Elena Dementieva of Russia looks to improve her runner-up finish last year in this tournament. She lost to now-retired former world number one Amelie Mauresmo in 2009.
However, the world number seven shouldn’t be complacent since the draw in the $700,000 Premier tournament is as tough as ever.
Here are the seeded players: Elena Dementieva [1], Flavia Pennetta [2], Yanina Wickmayer [3], Francesca Schiavone [4], Aravane Rezai [5], Shahar Peer [6], Virginie Razzano [7] and Elena Vesnina [8]
