Are you talking about Ningbo? If so, wasn't she below Glushko (and other players in qualifying) on the alternates list?

 She's made the main draw according the the thread on the tennis forum

They've changed their tune then - they had Jo below Glushko on the Alt list before.

Maybe they listed the Alts in qualifying entry list order for some reason, in which it would make sense that JoKo might have been higher up on the original main draw entry list, because the main draw entry deadline was mid-USO, when Jo was ranked 112, and the qualifying entry deadline would probably have been a week later, when she had dropped to 141.

Having said that, Glushko was WR 95 on Monday and WR 99 a week earlier, so I didn't think there was much chance of JoKo having been ahead of her at the entry deadline else I would have investigated a bit more thoroughly before, but now I remember Julia qualified and reached R3 at the USO, so it all slowly starts to make sense!

125ks are treated like WTA events, so main draw is 6 weeks before, qualies 3 weeks before. So I believe the list on tennis forum was for qualifying, and then Spiceboy was updating the main draw based on the proper alternates list as people withdrew.

I think you're right about what Spiceboy was doing, but for future reference it's 3 weeks before and (Q) 2 weeks before for 125Ks - rule III.A.8.b) - I only know this because I looked it up when I was writing my last post and trying to work out what was going on!
