Thanks, actually I thought they ran out of the commitment lists the last time I checked. But that's cool, I'll check it out.

What does the A and F before the player's name mean? I always wanted to know.

What does the A and F before the player's name mean? I always wanted to know.
A=associated membership, F=full membership, if I remember correctly.
For WTA, you have to pay like 1K to become a full member, then you'll get some previleges associated members cant get, e.g. an amateur dont get prizemoney, but she gets to get all the expense paid from the prizemoney she wins.

Then how do Associated members make a living if they don't collect on prize money?

Most of them have funding from their national association or from other sponsors.
But if they want to play by themselves, like Nancy:), then they wont make any money. Some just do it for the love of the game:).

Who's Nancy........?

I still don't understand it. I understand a little bit of being a full member, but what how is being an associated member and not a member different?

She'll probably make it because of late withdrawals and American girls in qualies who will benefit of WC in MD plus Evie will be on top of the update alternates list thanks to her final last week in France :)

thanks :hug:

Udachi Maria!!!

I hope another Russian Champion!!! Either Lena-D or MAria Sharpova.... I don't think thaT Justine will be able to uphold them after her injury and after after they have gotten so good...

Phew Els! Last one accepted into the main draw ;) :lol: And Cara is one away from the Main Draw and Lilia one away from Qualifying..they both will make it in cause you know ATLEAST one player will pull out of the main draw :lol: ;) :angel:

Go! Tanasugarn , Viratprasert

If Daniela has a good week in Montreal than she will most likely be seeded also!! Go Daniela and I hope Serena is fit to win another US Open!!

Where is Seles?

Where is Seles?
She didnt enter in time, expect her to grab a WC though if she plays New Haven.
Monica always likes to surprise people;). Good luck Mon:)

Clijsters will NOT compete at the USO open. It's too soon for her to return.
She has Herstal, Filderstadt, Moskou, Zürich on her programm.

Actually Kim is committed to New haven as well.
I think it's premature to assume Kim will pull out of US Open, let's not assume until it's official.

It IS official - Kim's not playing US open - apparently its confirmed on her website today.

Really:eek: That's shocking, so she'll be missing 3 slams this year.
If she has confirmed her withdrawal, I anticipate seeing press rellease in the paper soon.

:banana: Forza Silvia Farina !!! :banana:

Herstal? :scratch: :p

Wonder why Na Li chose not to enter? :(

She could definitely do some damage!

Go Laura :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Does anyone know when the NEXT IN List comes out??

With Kim's withdrawal, whoever tops that list should enter the main draw, and as of right now, I think it's Harkleroad.

Next in list is Monday's ranks (Aug 2)
and Ashley will be on top of that list due to her win over Patty

after Kim withdrew, Cara Black took her place. Thats cos Kim withdrew before list came out (thats if she's actually notified the USTA and not just the press :lol: )

Thanks.

I guess, it all depends on when Kim actually notifies the WTA of when she will withdraw.

If she did it already, Black is in, but if she waits til Monday, then Ashley should be in.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens when the list comes out.

If Ash is in another WC for a young american opens up.
