Entries - week 25- 19/06/2017

Michael D · All-time great

I notice that Mandy Carreras was entered in both the Manchester 100k and the Ilkley 110k scheduled for this week, but has now withdrawn from both. This means she had intended to play the grass court season this year, likely aiming at least for a Wimbledon qualifying WC, but her wrist injury has not recovered sufficiently to allow her to do so. Does anybody have an update on this? As we know wrist injuries can have very nasty effects...

Pity as Mandy is one of our few players capable of pulling off a real surprise cry

JonH · All-time great

Surprised Naomi is only an alt at Ilkley - but 12 of top 100 makes it a v strong entry.

I see Aljaz is just two places off a place in Halle draw now. Pretty certain to get in it looks like.

wimdledont · Challenger level

Moore, Robson and Swan have all withdrawn from Ilkley, and are presumed wildcarded into Birmingham.

This is also the week of the Wimbledon WC Play-Offs.

I suspect they are getting qualifying wildcards only.

JonH · All-time great

As an aside, Sharapova looks out of Birmingham

Thanks for the update PockyTastic, and yes, I agree, I think that Mandy might well have surprised a few people if she could have played the grass season... she only played a few matches two years ago but did well. Now sadly it looks like her ranking will slip a lot before she is able to play again cry

Katie Boulter and Katy Dunne have also withdrawn from Ilkley

They've both made the qualifying draw in Birmingham, though they are still in singles and doubles in Manchester so that might be scuppered unless they get main draw wildcards.

Madadman · Top national player

I wonder who will get the Queens QWC. Anything been announced?

Madadman · Top national player

I notice that Kyle is now a DA for Queens and his wildcard has been allocated to Cam. I wonder if Dan will make it or if there will be another WC to be re allocated.

The WC Play-offs are based on the rankings as at 19th June, with on-site sign-in on Weds 21st June. Play is Thursday and Friday, weather permitting. So with Wimby WC's not being announced until Tuesday 20th, it isn't going to be easy predicting who will be in the playoffs.
