Qualifying starts tomorrow with Eden Silva, Katie Boulter, Beth Askew, Jasmine Amber Asghar and Georgia Craven given wildcards. Presumably Georgina Sellyn, Katy Dunne, Harriet Dart, Pippa Horn and Lana Rush (plus possibly Danieelle Konotoptseva) have main draw wildcards, as they were in the Roehampton main draw
Some tricky draws for the girls with Pippa and possibly Lana having the best chances to progress

Last year I thought Eleanor's absence was wise. It kept her out of the media spotlight for a bit and instead she ended up winning her first 10k title. This year is it to do with injury? I can't think of many instances of her playing in 2012?
Eleanor has listed Robert Orlik as her coach since January. She may well be injured having been a late withdrawal for the last tournament she was listed for (a grade 1 on clay 3 weeks ago), but she wasn't planning to be at Wimbledon anyway seemingly, as she didn't appear on the entry list.
Harriet is unsurprisingly struggling against Sharipova (WTA top 500) and loses the first set 6-2
