SaiSai Zheng has an SE...

Thought this was meant to take place at 7.30pm EST - I guess they meant the men's?

Dolehide vs Vekic looks the stand out tie to me, followed by Osaka-Pera. Decent draw for Katie Swan (and SaiSai, obviously).

What happened to Lauren Davies? Another withdrawal?

 

[Jorn]

Lauren is in Qualies, as they don't have 4 none Top 20 wildcards

Btw, But why did Bibi A. from Canada get her wildcard?

She got one last year as well as reached the quarters (so a chance to defend points maybe). They seem to like giving Canadian's a wildcard as Abanda has received 2 in recent years as has Bouchard - they all seem to come in 2's for some reason.

I'd say Katie Swan's WC was far more unexpected, unless there's an obvious link that has passed me by?

That's well harsh is that . Awful when they do that - announce things that they can't deliver. Miami almost got burnt for something similar with their QWC choices a few months ago.

 

[SAISAI-GOAT]

no she doesn't :hysteric:

because she is already into the MD with her PR :crying:

 

[Jorn]

It only because they write it on the Draw picture that SE...

The price of Andy Murray playing here? She's with his management agency.

Could well be, never thought of that. Good (unexpected) opportunity for her though and a decent chance of winning her first round match and if she did that would be a great experience potentially playing Wozniacki.

It's obviously a mistake. You can't change SR to actual ranking after the entry deadline.

WTA drawsheet does not show any SE either.

(wc)Andreescu is Out.


Caroline Woz. vs Q-A. Kalinina
Han vs Q-Kiick
Stollar vs LL-Hibi
Bencic vs Q-Dart
Hibino vs Q-Zhuk

Shame for Andreescu, who had to pull out of a home 60k event last week in the semis, and will drop a fair few points from her QF last year.

I can definitely see Zheng withdrawing too; not only did she play the final today, but retired from it with an injury.
