Sam Murray is also first alternate into qualies for Eilat. Without knowing her programme, not sure whether Israel or Australia (as part of a longer tour) would be the priority

Sam has now pulled out of BOTH tournaments, although she is still down for the GB $10k in week 4. Unless she is injured, this seems an odd start to the year, given her form at the end of 2012

I see JoKo will be in Eilat getting used to the conidtions a week before Fed Cup. Good planning

As, more or less, expected, Laura has pulled out of Pattaya..............................

Wise move, hopefully come Fed Cup she will be near to 100 %.

I thought she might have pulled out, I'm guessing considering Anne is in Laos, she's hoping to play Pattaya and also no pre-fed cup training this year!

Dan Cox has a wild card for qualifying in Sheffield and has an easy draw. Looks like wild cards for main draw for Willis and Morgan due to their semi runs.

Marcus is 9th seed in qualies. Am I right in saying there is a limit to how many wc's a player can have in a season? If so, makes some sense not to use them all up on 10k's.................not sure how that all works though

Interesting. I was about to say that yes, there is a limit to how many Wild cards a player can receive. According to the ATP rulebook:

"Players may accept up to fi ve (5) main draw singles wild cards into ATP
World Tour tournaments during any ATP Circuit Year."

But, I'm looking through the new ITF regulations, and there is no mention on the mens side of limits on how many WCs a player can receive into ITF events. Has there been a change of rule in that regard. There is still a limit of 3 Main draw WC and 6 Qualifying WCs per year on the women.
