Flavia Pennetta is having a great season in 2014 and she will try to consolidate her rankings in Mexico. But Flavia will have a very strong competition for a WTA premier event as former world no.1 Ana Ivanovic and Caroline Wozniacki will be a real threat for the title.
Other tough customers will be the uprising star Garbine Muguruza and Monica Puig for Puerto Rico.
The Seeds
The top 8 seeds are Pennetta, Ivanovic, Wozniacki, Flipkens, Muguruza, Rybarikova, Knapp and Puig.
Possible quarters
Pennetta – Puig
Flipkens – Knapp
Muguruza – Wozniacki
Rybarikova – Ivanovic
The favorite
That’s a tough one as Pennetta, Ivanovic, Wozniacki a Muguruza seems to have the same chances. We pick Pennetta because she is in top form and she had a relatively easy draw… unless she is already too satisfied by her triumph in Indian Wells.
