does anyone know if marion and elena are attending as alternates? both were injured recently so not sure if they will be there, and if not who is there? think there's a good chance one or more alternates will get some action this week!

The alternates have to be there, or they get other alternates

maybe they haven't been finalised yet? if elena and marion are both out injured then it would be safina and vaidisova, but nicole had that wrist injury so then it would be patty! :tape:

I know they're paid pretty well to be there. Even if they're both a little hurt, they're probably appearing as if they can play so they make $$$$.

Lena said in a recent interview she would be in Madrid as an alternate.
Her injury, the recurrent thigh problem, is not serious.

Last year the alternates, Dinara and Patty, were in photos with the 8 YEC players
Strange there's been no announcements who they are given the injury concerns over shara, serena and kuz, and to a lesser extent justine's shoulder and jj's shoulder/back. I'd say there's a good chance one or more may be needed.
