Not really a surprise with some hard weeks on clay and wildcards guaranteed for Birmingham and Eastbourne.
The last wildcard is for someone who was not on the acceptance list. Given that Katie Swann is here and playing British Tour, I wouldn't be surprised if it was her.
What is the points situation in qualifying?, I get confused with all the changes.
QR1: 0 QR2: 1 FQR: 3 QUAL: 5
It used to be 0-1-4-6 for 50Ks and above, I think, but that now only applies to 100K & 100K+H
Re. WCs - the top 3 seeds in qualifying were all just below Naomi on the acceptance list - it doesn't mean for certain that she didn't need a wild card but there's a chance that she didn't. If she did need the wild card, I imagine whichever of Jade and Emily doesn't get one must be injured.

Yeah disappointed with Sam's draw in particular. Was hoping she'd get out her funk this week but can't see her beating Eleni on current form.
Yes, very unlucky that our highest-ranked representative in qualifying by far is the one who draws a former top 15 player! H2H is 0-1 - Eleni beat Sam 5 & 1 in Pozoblanco in 2011.
