Wild Cards:

• Two reciprocal wild cards: Australian, French & US Open have arranged a 3-way reciprocal arrangement whereby they all allocate a [WC] to each other to use at their discretion. This means that all three of Tennis Australia (TA), Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT) and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) set aside two WCs for their home Grand Slam in order to acquire two WCs for their own use at these two other Grand Slams.
• Six at discretion of FFT (for French players).

Qualifying
12 from 96 players (88 direct acceptances + 8 [WC]s) will qualify for MD after three elimination rounds.

Thanks

[guichard]

I hope Timea uses her SR

[Papillon.]

Only three players can use their special rankings, therefore if all three listed attempt to enter they will not be granted entry. The lowest SR will have to miss out.

[Yuri_Bot]

I think Alisa Kleybanova will not use SR. But that's just my guess ...

• With Alisa Kleybanova (RUS - SR # 24), Agnes Szavay (HUN - SR # 44) & Timea Bacsinszky (SUI - SR # 47) there are three players eligible to use SR (Anna Chakvetadze is not listed because she used SR at Australian Open 2012 already).
• As I am not aware of any rule that limits the number of players using their SR for direct acceptance to get into the same tournament, please be so kind and direct me to that rule.

Tomorrow I'll make a thread with Official EL

I meant to say only two players are eligible to enter with SR rather than three, but I am actually wrong as I found no rule to substantiate what I said (which bothers me a little as now I'm wondering why I believed that in the first place lol).

That's better news anyway, I'd rather all three be able to use their SRs.

The only way it isn't correct is if Dulgheru didn't withdraw and Lucic is two places out, or if there is another SR entry resulting in the same. Unless by incorrect you mean there are more withdrawals and Lucic is already in, but I don't understand why you wouldn't have already made that clear.

You probably confused special rankings with special exempts (which indeed are limited to 2 per tournament).
