[1] Dominika Cibulkova

After a comparatively early exit from the French Open, Cibulkova took a wildcard to Den Bosch where she has enjoyed some success in the past. After a quick exit on her debut in 2009, she made the quarter-finals three times and the semi-finals once.

Her clay court season was clobbered with a wrist injury and with Eastbourne title and the Wimbledon quarter-finals to defend, a good start to her grass court season is imperative.

 

[2] Kristina Mladenovic

There is no doubt that Mladenovic is at the height of confidence at the moment. She reached the Stuttgart final and Madrid final (runner-up in both) and gave the French crowds real hope that they might see a champion before she ran out of steam in the quarter-final.

She reached the final in Den Bosch last year, and is coming in with some good form.

 

[3] Kiki Bertens

Third seed Bertens has perhaps more of a pedigree on clay – especially after her run to the semi-final last year at Roland Garros. She enjoyed another good clay run this year, but her grass court form has been patchy.

 

[4] CoCo Vandeweghe

Last year’s champion returns looking for a decent run on the grass. Last year she carried that form to the semi-finals of Birmingham, but fell flat at Wimbledon.

The Ricoh Open takes place between 12-18 June (BST +1 hour).
