All eyes are on Anna Leigh Waters, who can hit the 200-title milestone with victories in both women’s doubles (with Anna Bright) and mixed doubles (with Ben Johns).

With Waters out of singles this week, the door opens for the rest of the field—led by top seed Kate Fahey, No. 2 Kaitlyn Christian, No. 3 Lea Jansen, and No. 4 Zoey Wang.

No. 7 Genie Bouchard also returns to the court in Nevada. She beat Fahey on her notable run to the final last year.
