Looks like Jodie, Emily A (SE?), Beth and ??? have got WC or other entries into the MD. Looks like there should be 1 or 2 others as well. Only Maia has direct entry into the MD.

So there's two guaranteed British qualifiers - one from the Sam/Freya/Alice/Vicki quartet, and one from the Eden/Ella/Ola/Martina quartet

Alicia seeded to get through too.

Nice to see no BYES - Mel South will be pleased.

(8)Lucia Bronzetti (ITA) v (wc)Tamara Malazonia (GBR)
(10)Anastasia Pivovarova (RUS) v Destinee Martins (GBR)

 

So 2 guaranteed to qualify as mentioned earlier. Alicia with a good chance and maybe Emily Arb although she does potentially have the 2nd seed in her way. Wonder who the 4th WC will be?

The 4th MDWC could/should be Sasha Hill.

 Based on current rankings, both Jodie (458) and Beth (464) are higher ranked than Vlada Ekshibarova (495), the Q1 Seed, so will have made the main draw. Beth has had her 3 MDWC for the year, anyway.

It's the entry rankings rather than current rankings that determine who makes the main draw, you don't overtake players on that priority list.

So with Ekshibarova in the qualifying draw Maia is the only Brit that can be a direct entrant.

OER shows Beth has only had 1 points scoring MDWC this year - in Manchester? Where do you think she had the other two?
My guess on the 4th WC would be Fran. I can't see who else it could be. .

Other than MDWC at Manchester, the only other WC MS. Grey has had was a QWC at Ilkley.
I looked up the rule for the exact phrasing they use (ITF Women's Circuit IV.B.1), and it is, "may receive during a calendar year a maximum number of:"
You can have 6 singles WC of which a maximum of three can be in to MD; and the same allocation again for doubles.

I mention this, becuase if it actually operates on a rolling 52 week period, then Ms. Grey's MDWC for Chiswick last year would also count, meaning she has had 3 singles WC in the 52 week period: 2 MD, 1 Q

But, 'Calendar Year' to me indicates 2018, not 52 weeks rolling.

Either way, she has not had 3 MDWC under either system.
