Stephens achieved her best career ranking in 2018 after Wimbledon of world number 3. The 28 year old was the 2017 US Open Champion and has won 6 WTA Tour titles. Stephens has not had her best season so far, after being knocked out in the first round in many tournaments. Her best result this year has been in Parma when she reached the semi-finals. For the first time, since 2017, Stephens has dropped out of the top 50 in rankings and thus, will be hoping to make an impression in San Jose. Stephens last played at Wimbledon where she lost in the third round before returning to tour for the American Hard Court Season.

McNally’s top rank has been in 2019 when she reached a world ranking of 105. She has had a good run on the tour this year in the doubles events. In singles, her best finish this year has been in Guadalajara when she reached the quarterfinals. McNally also was last seen at Wimbledon but was unable to break into the main draw. Although, ranked number 6 in the qualifiers, she was unable to win her second match. She will be hoping to perform well in San Jose to give her a chance to break into the top 100 rankings for the first time.
