I was very surprised Harriet Dart hadn't made it straight into the Australian Open main draw (being in the top 100 is usually enough and she is ranked 96) but with 11 players using protected rankings, it's less of a surprise. She should get in easily after withdrawals though.

Some of these 11 have not played for ages. Rodina has played 5 matches since Eastbourne 2019. Kenin has a SR of 4 whereas her current ranking is 240. Maybe she will win Angers this week and quickly rise up the rankings. Halep is not on the entry list but is trying to fast track her appeal with perhaps the hope of playing in Australian Open. Vondrousova who was ranked 97 , one below Harriet also has an SR. There is reckoned to be 3 withdrawals on average. Harriet just needs one.
Molly McElwee of Daily Telegraph writing that Harriet was keen to find a coaching replacement for Nigel Sears who helped her break into the top 100 for the first time last year before the pair parted ways. Harriet said it had not been easy finding coaches -and finding coaches who want to travel as well- but I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

Apparently, Harriet has won Player of the Year 2023 (based on 2022 results)
