Anyone know what (16E) means?

All 16 seeds are in plus 16E. Looks a bit strange...

 Pretty sure it is like a Special Exemption. In this case a special exemption for Under 16. Possibly she won a U16 tournament recently which feeds into this tournament...

That was my first thought too, but that theory went down the drain when I checked and found she had her 17th birthday in June! My next thought was maybe she won the 16U event there last year (if there is one), but two boys were shown as 16E in last year's draw and none in this year so that doesn't really make sense either. One of those intriguing yet completely pointless mysteries LOL

Another question. When do the players who are too old to compete at junior level have their ranking removed? I see Katy Dunne is still highly ranked, but she is too old for juniors now.

She isn't too old for juniors until Jan 1st 2014. It's not when you turn 18 it's the year so someone born in Jan gets an extra year compared to someone born in December.

They'll all get removed just after Christmas I think

 Cheers - I always assumed it was u-18 by birthday.

To clear up the 16E mystery: there are 2 ways that players can obtain an under 16 exempt. The first is by playing in a team which finishes in the top 3 at the junior Davis/Fed cup. The second is by finishing high in the under 16 ranking list for the region. This will be the relevant one for Maria, as her region is the Central America and Caribbean, which isn't especially strong. The first two in this region get exempts to at least 1 G1 event in the region during the following year. As it happens Maria's ranking would have just got her in as a direct entry in the end.

Boys R2

Alejandro Tabilo (CAN) v (15) Alexander Sendegeya (GBR)

Girls R2

Katie Swan (GBR) v (7) Fanny Stollar (HUN)
(8) Isabelle Wallace (GBR) v Yolimar Ogando (PUR)
