Looks like Duan is playing a proper season this year, nice
It doesn't feel right to see Keys at top seed, particularly when you see the next three names below her. Strong list overall though, nice to see Kleybanova back!
With the help of the tournament website and with the 3 MD Alts I had, looks like it's :
MD changes
Konjuh, Vikhlyantseva, (SR) Kleybanova OUT
(MDO) Sakkari, King, (MDO) Lepchenko IN
--
1st MD Alt now (minding she signed up in time) : Errani
--
Q changes
King, (SR) Glatch, Goncalves OUT
Maleckova, Elie, Ferro IN
---
Are they trying to break the rules (again) or what ? . Collins is a direct acceptance on the Monterrey Q list and as per the rules :
"Prohibition Against Withdrawing from One Tournament to Play Another Once a player is accepted into the Qualifying of any WTA Tournament, she may not withdraw to play (or accept a Wild Card) in another WTA Tournament or ITF event in the same week, singles and/or doubles. If a player is discovered at any time to have violated this prohibition, the player will forfeit any ranking points received (singles and doubles) from the other event in which she played and may be subject to Late Withdrawal fines."
I'd be surprised to see Caro pull out. She's not scheduled for Stuttgart and probably wants to play on clay before Rome and Madrid. She also missed the clay season last year, so it's free points.
