WTA ranking takes preference over ITF ranking in 15K entry lists.
A 3rd counter or 10 points and a WTA ranking would surely be a real positive for Victoria if she can get it, then jumping ahead of all players with just an ITF ranking on entry lists.
Continues of course to be an absolute nonsense that otherwise, with no ITF ranking, she would remain behind these players with just their 15K ITF points. Victoria has now had 100K QR1 and QR2 wins and a 60K QR1 qualifying win to reach the FQR in each.

Not a confirmed source, but judging by that, looks like it was Heather who pulled out and doesn't sound too clever for Katie Swan either. Could potentially open up a LL spot for someone in Katie's case.
statement of intent right there from allen
i think these days they just say ''boom!''
shame that she done it this year and get punished with a second match in short order in the new regime
I was watching on Bet365, but dipping in and out trying to find out the draw amongst other things. Looking like a step to far at the moment, Reix takes the first set 6-1.
And then when you add in Harriet withdrawing, Katie B withdrawing (can kind of understand that being Fed Cup #2) Gabi not entering and Katy injured, it's a bit of a disaster really.
I'm sure the young'uns will give a good account of themselves and Jodie with a good draw could do damage, but in reality, considering they are all either Qs or WCs, it's quite likely that all GB interest will have ended in the first round, whereas this time last week they had 3 of the top 5 seeds. It's unfortunate and can't be helped in a lot of cases, obviously, but man, what a let down.
