Silvia Farina-Elia is the top seed here in Palermo. She claimed the Luxembourg title last year and would like to go far in her home tournament. She is also the highest ranked player in PYW in this event.
Flavia Pennetta made the final only last week in Modena and is looking for another fine run on home soil. She already has titles to her name in Bogota and Acapulco.
Other hot contenders for the title will be players as Klara Koukalova, Marta Domachowska and Anna Smashnova. But it is you who decides who walks away with the trophy at the end of the week.
