Week 23 ITF ($100k) - Surbiton, Grass

paulisi · Tennis legend

Most of those on the qualifying list won't bother signing in.
There will be more drop outs in the main draw for players still involved at Roland Garros.
Most of the alts will get in if they turn up. QWC will be given to better juniors or players chasing ranking points to get a full ranking.

4 x Q

4 X WC

I assume that will be the procedure with 24 mains and 8 others and if that's the case then some currently in the Q alt list (on the ITF site) will automatically enter the Q list.

Obviously a few more could and will withdraw in the coming days including Heather and Naomi. You'd expect Buzarnescu to withdraw as she's still in 3 G events. Maria is still with Hev in the doubles and Rodionova and Blinkova are also still in the WD.

Harriet currently 2nd in the alt list so should get in directly, Katy 5th so may well also get in. Swan 14th so unlikely.

As expected. Although with Buzarnescu beating Anna in the WD today, she will be still in France after the deadline, so Dart may well have got in directly. If that's the case, then I assume they can pass this WC onto someone else? Also, be interesting to see which 1 (or 2) others get the other wildcard(s)?

There's still a few more who'll drop out at the last minute as they are still involved at RG.

Think the only ones still possibly in RG are the following:

Buzarnescu - think she's still in all 3 competitions and has a WD match on Saturday so she will be out

Watson / Maria - both have a WD match together at 11am tomorrow - win that and they'll withdraw, lose and should be fine to play.

Rodionova - has a WD match tomorrow morning - similar scenario to Hev.

Others of course like Blonkova who ceased competition today may well withdraw, but might not be too many more withdrawals.

Ah, Blinkova was still on the OOP for tomorrow when I looked, but I see she lost. I thought there was another as well, but must have been wrong.

Heather not playing until Saturday. One of her opponents has a singles match early afternoon tomorrow.

25 Harriet DART (GBR) 194
26 Conny PERRIN (SUI) 198

So while not officially confirmed, with Buzarnescu withdrawing that's what the list will look like. Obviously could be a couple of other withdrawals here and there, but in an ideal world, Rodionova and her partner who are seeded, win their match tomorrow and that would put Harriet into the MD without the need for a WC.

I think I'd also like Watson to lose personally. If she wins then Dart again would get in (as would Conny with Maria staying in France as well), but bar a few extra quid, from a fan POV (who is mainly only interested in singles competition) I think it'll be more important for her to play Surbiton and try to defend those final points - obviously that win over Dodin was a bonus but she needs a good grass season or she will be back in Qs for the US Open.

Damn, didn't realise that. Saw it was tomorrow when I checked this morning, so I assume that's Hev and Maria out of Surbiton then?
