Less than 1 day to go...

Are you excited to see the Draw, who's In the Qualies? :wavey:


Can't wait for the new season to begin!

.

Yeah :D, the Q-draw should be a big surprise since we have no idea who's on the Q-list this year :awww:

Yes!!!!

Can't wait!!!

When the MD will be available?

Wta Should Do The Same As Itf And Provide The Acceptance List For Qualis Together With
The Md List. Need Someone To Convey The Message To The Wta So We The Fans Can Enjoy
The Prospects For Each Tournament Fully!!!

MD should be Out 28th or 29th december.

Last In Qualies now is Maria Jose Martínez Sánchez.

thanks Jorn

Thank you very much for your reply. I guess that we will have to wait...
Hope that in the future the WTA will provide more information to us
that follow the sport of tennis and are true fans...

If mods here were OK with it I had no problem posting it. Blame WTA for that :o

Are the mods against you who knows answer the Questions now? Other years it has been answered... But TBE now don't answer anything...

Btw, Thanks for Heidi info :)

No, I meant that mods here forbid to post the lists as told by WTA.

But it seems the Brisbane Q-List is more a secret than the Sydney List... who's posted now...

Q-Draw will be out at about 9am CET on December 27th. 8 days!

Can't wait :D

Q-Draw will be out at about 9am CET on December 27th. 8 days!

I still believe that the WTA should disclose the acceptance list together with the MD acceptance list before the draws are out, similar
what the ITF does. If we the fans push for this information it will happen. Hope that someone with more experience than us would take the lead to get this to be implemented. Thank you.

Yes, when Sydney Q-List is known, I can't see why Brisbane List is a secret... :o


Also now with Williams has had surgery she may be Out, what we won't know about much before the Draw... Even Ithink she will play...

Heidi here jorn, she defo coming to oz?

Yes see in the Shenzhen Open Forum where talk is going on... about Brissy and Auckland... ;)

5-6 days, and we still wait for the Q-EL :o

So excited for the new season! :D :bounce:

Sucks that no Dutchies are here this year, Rus and Bertens are in Auckland.

Oudin isn't here right? Cause she pulled out of Auckland apparently :sad:

any WC confirm?

Only wc known is Jarka in Main Draw. Q-wildcards we won't possible know before the Q-Draw in 4 days... :o

Hello, first time poster, first post. :)

This will be my third year going to Brisbane - can't wait until tomorrow. Anyone know what time play starts for quallies tomorrow? (or what time they'll let you into the grounds?)

Wish they'd publish the quallie list.

Welcome!!!! Everybody is in agreement regarding the Quali acceptance list of the WTA tournaments. Hope that the WTA executives take note
and provide a resolution to this issue. Quali Draw should be out tonight
and first match tomorrow should start at 10:00 AM Brisbane time.

Thank you, Swordfish.

Quallie days are my favourite days to go. No crowds, a chance to scope out future main draw players, get good photographs without people in the way, and often a chance to see the main draw players practicing. :)

Q draw should be out by the time I wake up :bounce:

Please drop off a few lines for us to let us share your observations. Have great time!!!!
