The role of honour here includes Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Dinara Safina. As there is a clash with a couple of G1 or G2s this year's events are not as strong, and Izzy Wallace returns after a short injury break as top seed with Lana Rush seeded 3. Both play unranked Italians in round 1, and Izzy could find herself with the novel experience of playing the twin of her first opponent in round 2.
R1 (L32)
(1) Isabelle Wallace (GBR) v (Q) Anna Turati (ITA)
I was a bit worried seeing Izzy's tweet "Embarrassing performance" but it turns out that she is just a harsh critic of herself, and does get to play twins in successive matches like Laura. Bianca is the more experienced, and has won a G5 this year.

R2
(1) Isabelle Wallace (GBR) v (SE) Bianca Turati (ITA) Valeria Prosperi (ITA) v (3) Lana Rush (GBR)
Not a good day for Izzy, well beaten in singles followed by a defeat in doubles - but the latter means that Lana picks up her second G2 title of the year
