WC Raducanu, Uchijima

 

The second straight year they’ve awarded a MD WC to a Brit.

 

Ultimately that might go to someone else, as some of these players will WD and move Emma into the MD. Also possible for Emma to decide 4 weeks in Asia is enough, despite the thriving.

 

Drova is a WTA 500 addict. She doesn't miss one.

Probably wants that top 10 spot

 

Very good line-up even if a few players will drop out after securing their YEC place.

any chance we have the list of alternates? if so, is Noskova the 1st alternate?

 

I don’t, the list is from the tournament instagram

 

Cirstea in alts with her pr?

 

I’m not 100% sure but I think Wuhan is the last tournament in which she is able to use it. Also in an instagram post before the Asian swing she listed Seoul, Beijing and Wuhan as her next tournaments so I’m guessing she won’t play beyond Wuhan.

 

This is the last week where results will count for the YEC.
Both Paolini & Rybakina here, could come down to as who does better here for the last spot.

Kasatkina's out, so that should put Noskova in

 

Both Krejcikova & Boisson will be out of Qualifying as both have ended their seasons.

 

Whats wrong with Babs K?

MS #56 det kan gaa tilbage for enhver…..

 

Knee injury during her loss in Beijing. I think she hyperextended it, but I'm not positive.

 

md update : Kasatkina out, Noskova in
