Garbine Muguruza is the 20th seed for this tournament and has already had two victories over top ten players. Muguruza beat Serena Williams in the third round, winning the first set and then seeing her opponent retire early in the second set. She followed that win with a victory over Kiki Bertens who was the number seven seed. Muguruza won the first set in that match, lost the second but came out the 6-4 winner in the final set. So far this year, the Spaniard has reached the last 16 of the Australian Open and the quarter-finals of a hard court tournament in Thailand.

Her opponent got a wild card for this tournament and is ranked ranked 60th in the world. 18-year-old Bianca Andreescu had to come from behind to beat Irina Camelia-Begu in the first round but has beaten two seeds since then. Round two saw her beat the 32nd seed Dominika Cibulkova and the fourth round produced a victory over 20th seed Wang Qiang. Her year got off to a good start when reaching a final in New Zealand. She won a 125K series tournament in Newport Beach beating Jessica Pegula in the final after losing the first set 6-0. February saw her reach the semi-finals in Acupulco but didn't beat a player ranked above 31 in the world. Muguruza has far more experience than her opponent and can get the win here.
