Praying for a Brit to win this... In memory of Baltacha who was the last Brit to win the title. Jo would obviously be the favourite but the new and improved Naomi could really make a run here too. So could Heather but things are actually more uncertain with her right now than they are with Naomi..
It's relatively weak field imo - only 4 players inside the top 50 and one of those is Wozniacki! Not totally beyond the realms of possibility that Heather Watson could win this - the WTA is so unpredictable now.
Konta's draw is really easy until the SF and I think she'll probably win the event. The winner of the QF with Puig/Watson will probably get to the final.
Laura Robson has been getting some pretty easy rides into draws with all these protected rankings and wild cards... She's gonna have to start making good on them soon. Curious to see how motivated Caroline comes into this, she recently responded to someone trolling her on twitter. Let's see if it sparks some fire.
She has only won 1 match in a main draw and it was an international, ranked 329. How many does she have left? It's gonna be tough if she doesn't take advantage.
