Soraya de Visch Eijbergen returns after injury turmoil

De Visch Eijbergen could not have asked for a better draw on her return to competition with opening rounds against local players which will give the Dutch woman an opportunity to ease herself back into tournament life. Should she get that far a quarter final against Zaitsava will give the first real indication of the Dutch players condition and form.

Fellow Dutch player Gayle Mahulette heads the seeding while the ever improving Mariya Mitsova will be the biggest threat to the top step of the podium after her appearance at the world championships last week in Glasgow.
