So we can say Top half all plays on Friday in Round 2?

Miami Open’s defending champion Serena Williams will kick off an incredible two evenings of tennis featuring the world’s No. 1 ranked singles players. Williams, the top-ranked woman in the world, will start defense of her Miami Open title on Friday, March 27 at 8 pm.
 
Can anybody help lazy me, from what countries does these 2 with wildcards come from?
Vikhlyantseva is Russian
Badosa is Spanish

IMG agents explain/decide the WC choices in Miami every year;)
 
Main draw ceremony is being held on Sunday at 6pm
Thanks Spiceboy, your information are always on time and accurate, priceless.

However I wonder why WTA is always so sloppy and without respect, hiding these information.
On the other side ATP clearly states these significant information in its official site:

Singles (PDF) - draw ceremony 23 March
Doubles (PDF) - draw made 24 March
Singles Qualifying (PDF) - begins 23 March


It seems that WTA has a long road to go to reach a serious level; just compare the two rule books: ATP is crystal clear, WTA a total mess, even worst than ITF.

Badosa is Spanish but her mother is american.
Paula Badosa is Spanish who holds dual citizenship Spanish/American.

Both her parents are Spanish (Catalan) and Paula was born in NYC while her parents were living there. The family moved back to Spain when she was little by she got to keep her American citizenship by being born there.
