Martina Trevisan leads the home challenge at this year's tournament. She opens against a qualifier, but could face a stiff challenge thereafter from the winner of the match between Lucia Bronzetti and Wang Xiyu.

The projected quarterfinal opponent for Trevisan is Caroline Garcia, who will herself need to find a way past the tricky Sara Errani โ€” her likely second-round opponent.

Second seed Yulia Putintseva and Irina-Camelia Begu find themselves on a collision course, but will need to be wary of the French duo of Oceane Dodin and Diane Parry.

The other seeds in the bottom half, Ana Bondar and Sara Sorribes Tormo, also face dangerous first-round opponents in the form of Clara Burel and Ana Bogdan respectively.


Schedule

The qualifying matches for the Palermo Ladies Open 2022 are scheduled for July 16-17. Main-draw matches will commence on Monday, July 18, at 11 am local time. The summit clash of the tournament is scheduled for Sunday, July 24.
