Surprisingly missing name in the list is of India's Sania Mirza ... I wish Sania will play with wildcard here ... But right now it looks may be Doctors asked her to break from tour for more than 4 weeks to fully recover from torn adductor muscle injury.

Sania's response -
"I am not playing in Bangalore Open. I have been advised by my manager not to play (there) because a lot has been happening in the past few months. Everytime I have played in India there has been some kind of problem. So we just thought it was better not to play this time."
