STANFORD, Calif. -- Defending Bank of the West Classic champion Aleksandra Wozniak came out of the qualifying tournament to win her first career WTA Tour title last year. She's in the main draw this year but has the likes of Wimbledon champion Serena Williams and former Grand Slam champion Venus Williams in her path this year.
Serena, ranked second in the world, and Venus, ranked third, are the top two seeds as the Bank of the West draw was announced Friday.
The 37th-ranked Wozniak opens against 27th-ranked Daniela Hantuchova.
Eight of the top 15 players are entered, along with former world No. 1 Maria Sharapova.
