While all the attention in Rio de Janeiro is on the man side with Rafael Nadal being the top seed, the ladies’ side is rather weak with all the top players focussed on Dubai.
The top seeds in Rio are Zakopalova, Schiavone, Ormaechea, Cadantu, Nara, Torro-Flor, Strycova and King.
The probable quarters are
Zakopalova – Strycova
Cadantu – King
Torro-Flor – Ormaechea
Nara – Schiavone
