I have found 8 but it seems hard to believe so I voted 6-7.

Genuinely the only ones who look totally safe to me are Humphries and Chizzy. Obviously not implying that 14 seeds will lose but it's a great draw.

I voted 6-7

I reckon at least 4 seeds will lose in the first round of the women's event.

Aside from Pietreczko and maybe Ratajski, I see a reasonable chance in every other game. Schindler, Littler, Dolan, Gilding and Anderson arguably start off as favourites.
