Monterrey has the strongest field out of this week’s two events.
The tournament has drawn a solid group of players, and the fight for the trophy should be quite interesting.

The top seed and best-ranked player in the field, Svitolina is the only top 10 player in the main draw.
The Ukrainian is in a slightly unusual situation.
Despite making it to back-to-back semifinals at Wimbledon and at the US Open, as well as a second consecutive WTA Finals title-decider, she has not won a title since 2018.
Svitolina made it to the third round at the Australian Open in January but lost to eventual runner-up Garbine Muguruza.
She missed out on a great chance in Thailand last month after being upset by Nao Hibino in the quarters.
Svitolina will be taking on a much tougher group of players this time around, but she remains the favorite.
2020 Record: 7-3, 1 title
2020 Prize Money: $122,578

Linnette is experiencing a career resurgence.
The Polish veteran won her first career title in 2019, having gone four years without reaching a final at the WTA Tour level.
Linnette already has a title this year, having won the Thailand Open last month.
This will be her first appearance since lifting the trophy, which means that she is on a five-win streak.
2020 Record: 0-1, 0 titles

Williams will be making a surprise appearance this week as a wild card.
The seven-time major champion has played on a reduced schedule in recent years, skipping most International events.
Her only appearance in 2020 ended in a first-round upset to Coco Gauff at the Australian Open.
Williams is a longshot to win, but she could still pull off a surprise and make a deep run this week.
2020 Record: 0-0, 0 titles

2019 Monterrey Open Result: Runner-up
Azarenka will be making her 2020 debut, having skipped the Australian Open due to an unspecified personal issue.
The former world number 1 reached the final last year but withdrew halfway through the match.
Azarenka had two other quarter-finals appearances last year as her best results.
While her best days are long behind her, the two-time slam champion is still a pick worth some consideration for this week.
The Belarussian struggled with injuries late last year, but remains a threat on the hard surface.
2020 Record: 7-4, 0 titles
2020 Prize Money: $101,668

The young Russian is a very good underdog pick for this week.
Potapova is coming off her best result in 2020, having reached the St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy quarter-finals from the qualifying round.
The 18-year old is chasing after her first career WTA Tour title, and this could be a good chance to lift the trophy.
