I'd be very surprised if Tara took a set of Riske never mind won the event.
The winners of the grass 50ks and challengers generally get a WC if they haven't automatically qualified. I don't think runners up have ever been given wildcards, but Tara is making a strong case for consideration.
If her serve stats hold up, I think this could be a close contest. Very rare for a wildcard to beat a No1 seed though, and Riske seems to do well on grass...
