Ah, Steven, I had wondered earlier what the general French Open qualifying cut-off was.

But if Conny is around the likely cut-off then Mandy would seem to have a lot more to do than I was hoping. Just having 12 qualifiers, so a 96 qualifying field, doesn't help. 50 points this week would help though !!

I take it French Open qualifying is generally very well subscribed then ?

I think so. I was reminded of that when I was asked by a player who said everyone was talking about it at the tournament she was at this week and nobody there knew what last year's cut-off had been. I'll copy my answer in below but it looks like around 200 is needed to be safe.

It is because the qualifying field is smaller for the women than for the men (though I guess that also helps some of those close to the WTA top 100 get into the main draw directly when they wouldn't have if there had been more qualifier slots and that may yet be an issue for Heather):

In 2016, the initial cut for RG qualies was 197 but it ended up at 212 (then an on-site alternate ranked 220 got in too)

In 2015, the initial cut was 197, ending up at 202

Conny is due to drop a net 47 points in a few weeks time...

live-tennis.eu/en/forecast-wta-ranking

Last year, the cut was around WR220, AFAICT from this...

www.tennisforum.com/3106-roland-garros/1082321-roland-garros-md-q-lists.html

...which was then, and now, equivalent to 227 points.

Amanda arrived in Brazil with 165, added 4 net last week, and 17+ this week, and will drop only 3 before the rankings of 1.5.17. 165+4+17-3 = 183. So she's still some 44 points or so short.

25k results will count from tournaments up until w/c 17.4.17, so Mandy could schedule 4 consecutive tournaments in Italy; in w/c 24.4.17 there are also WTA Istanbul, a 100k+H in China, and 60ks in Tunis and USA.

If Amanda wins, we'd have (with Katie B in Australia) two finalists in separate, non-domestic, $25K finals in the same week. Which happens vanishingly rarely (if ever?). 1-0*
