Among the top names involved include Jil Teichmann fresh off her run to the final at the Top Seed Open; who will face Aliona Bolsova as top seed; with a potential tie with Shelby Rogers awaiting.
Anna Blinkova is number two seed but perhaps has the toughest test of qualifying; when she faces in-form Canadian, Leylah Fernandez.
Among those to receive a Wildcard into Qualifying include Caroline Dolehide, Cici Bellis and Katie Volynets; with a strong American contingent aiming to make it through to the main draw.
