Swedish star Rebecca Peterson, Frenchwoman Alize Lim, Japanese player Risa Ozaki and Thai young gun Noppawan Lertcheewakarn round out the top five players expected to compete. 

"Strong showings from the top ranked players in recent weeks means the standard of the tennis will be exceptional," Bendigo International Tournament director Andy Reynolds said.
