The tournament will qualify 10 singles players (eight main draw quarter finalists and two feed-in consolation finalists) and four doubles teams (four main draw semifinalists).
The tournament kicked off on Saturday with pre-qualifying, with Monday and Tuesday being the qualifying rounds. The main draw for both doubles and singles begins on Wednesday.
Grechkina and Harmon, currently ranked at No. 21 in the ITA doubles rankings, are through to the main draw in doubles, with their Wednesday opponent to be determined. The duo won the doubles crown at the Battle in the Bay Classic to begin the fall season earlier this month.
