Chris Evert Lloyd will be the No. 2-seeded player and Steffi Graf of West Germany will be seeded third, followed, in order, by Claudia Kohde-Kilsch of West Germany, Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia, Pam Shriver, Helena Sukova of Czechoslovakia and Manuela Maleeva of Bulgaria.
Others who have clinched berths in the 16-player field include Zina Garison and Bonnie Gadusek.
