Oh, I take this every time if she wins this round. Plus from earlier it appears she is without a MD place, by ranking or WC, for Tokyo, so may well have the week off.

Isn't there the equivalent of a special exampt or something on the women's side if she wins this match?

I believe so, but the issue would be I imagine that this is a lower grade tournament than Tokyo.

True, but still a WTA tournament.
