Agnieszka Radwanska and Angelique Kerber are the top seeds in Madrid. Serena Williams decided not to play, citing illness, leaving the ground open for the other players.
Even if she was seeded no.1, Radwanska had a horrible draw to face Dominika Cibulkova in the opener, then possible Carolina Garcia and Sara Errani.
Genie Bouchard will try to get a decent result in Spain to possibly clash against Garbine Muguruza in the second round.
Coric will face either Becker or Dutra Silva in the 2nd round.
Projected quarters
Radwanska – Vinci
Azarenka – Kvitova
Halep – Muguruza
Kerber – Suarez Navarro
The defending champion is Petra Kvitova that last year defeated Kuznetsova 6-1 6-2 in the final.
