I dont think shes got a feed up from Vancouver for this event. Dubois taken the MDWC for this even instead of Anne. Thats why Anne was in the Kolkata Main Draw instead of Dubois. i think this has been discussed before you know.

No, Anne got the MD Feed up to this tournie instead of Dubois because Dubois didnt want to make the trip. As anne got to the final, shes second choice. Anne has a feedup to Quebec because she won the tournie. I don't think you can swap feedups. Dubois probably got a w/c because she's Canadian. Remember, a WC is different to a feed-up. If your theory was right, anne would be a w/c at kolkata.

Please could someone explain to me what a feed-up is?

When you win a 50K or larger Challenger you will receive a spot in the main draw of a Tier 3 or Tier 4 event. If the Winner chooses not to take the spot (or gets in via her ranking) then it goes to the runner up.

When you win a 25K event you recieve a spot in qualifying for a Tier 3 or Tier 4 event. If the winner chooses not to take the spot (or gets in via her ranking) then it goes to the runner up.

Looking at the draw on WTA site
Naomi has another good chance
to come through qualies and make
the main draw.
She's certainly capable.

Naomi should easily make it to the final round where shes likely to face top seed.
I think Sarah should have stayed in UK for nottingham, very tough task ahead of her to qualify.

I think I'd be disappointed if Naomi didn't qualify looking at that draw! She has a real chance of progression towards the end of this season!
