Organisers have now announced the majority of the main draw entrants with world No 14 Konta the second-highest ranked player after Halep (2), while Matric (15), 2019 French Open runner-up Vondrousova (18) and Sakkari (20) are also inside the WTA top 20.

Former Grand Slam winners Svetlana Kuznetsova and Jelena Ostapenko are also on the entry list along with Anett Kontaveit, Elise Mertens and Donna Vekic.
