I can really see Heather tearing through this bunch of scrubs and regaining her semi-final points from last year.......

 

[Gerri]

Very good line up again. I look forward to seeing who the wildcards go to.

I'd probably expect Watson and Broady again and maybe Taylor and Boulter having one for Southsea, but I guess it will depend on how the previous WCs are handed out.

Some of the Dunne, Dart, Swan combo may well be in Wimbledon Qs that week.

Where is usually the cut for the qualies? Arruabarrena is 94 and is defending second round from the qualies... if she doesn't enter she will be out of the Top100.

 

[jamatthews83]

Last year the cut was #134, but with the new Grand Slam rules, it's like to massively plummet.

What new rules are these to affect the entry list?

 

[KCatty]

What new rules are these to affect the entry list?

If you are playing qualies at a slam, you can't play main draw in a tournament the week prior.

 

[vogus_emeritus]

What new rules are these to affect the entry list?

the new rules are a train wreck that screw all the players ranked between 115 and 250 four weeks every year. It means that the qualifying draws at Sydney/Hobart, Strasbourg/Nurenburg, Eastbourne, and Newhaven are full of 3rd-tier scrubs.

Not just 4 years. The close gap between RG and Wimbledon causes more damage. For example Krejčíková, last year finalist of Nürnberg, didn't play this year to be able to play RG (still alive in doubles), qualified to lose in first round, but since the Wimbledon Q list cut off is in the middle of RG, she won't make it, although being rank 198 in the live rankings now, which would be enough after wild cards and withdrawals (initial cut off is 197 per relevant TF thread). There are probabyl more cases like that, this one I just know of and is quite evident and extremely unlucky.

Sadly it’s similar for Georgina Garcia Perez, whose ITF points came off the week of RG qualifying and who may miss out as well despite making R2 in RG.

@spiceboy by any chance we have the qualification entry list?

Thanks.

Did Sloane take a top-ten WC?

Not just main draw. You're not allowed to play WTA qualies or doubles that week if you're also entered into GS qualies.
