PLAYERS TO WATCH

1. Sofia KENIN (#4)

Kenin lost in the second round of her Australian Open title defence and struggled to find form during both her matches. She is looking to get her game back on track and settle the nerves that plagued her throughout her brief title defence. Being away from the spot light will give her a chance to gain confidence without scrutiny.

2. Bianca ANDREESCU (#9)

Andreescu looked good in both her matches at the Australian Open having not played for 15 months. She struggled with consistency through both her matches and this event could help her regain some match fitness and a chance to build confidence ahead of the Miami Open in March.

3. Anastasia POTAPOVA (#101)

Potapova had a brief but impressive run at the Australian Open eventually losing in a close match with Serena Williams. Her serving let her down in that match but through this Melbourne Summer Series she has only lost two matches, Williams (#11) at the Australian Open and Halep (#2) at the Gippsland Trophy.
