Nice work Peter, don't envy you . I was just saying on the other thread that I thought the 4 MDWCs would be Angelica, Sasha, Holly H and Emily Arb, but there's no Ali Collins in Qs either, so probably 4 from those 5 and at least 1 of them sitting it out.

Guaranteed one qualifier from those 17, and that's all it'll probably be, unless there's a hidden gem amongst some of the lesser known.

Assuming all 4 MDWCs are used, there'll be at least 13 Brits in the main draw (12 + 1 qualifier)

 I would suggest the nearest possibility to a 'hidden gem' is Grace Piper. I see the Mordergers are in line for a qualifying round match-always seems a great shame to me when that happens.

One guaranteed qualifier in Freya's quarter and given Freya's form, it could be any of them.

 If Freya loses to Scarlet, then she's got serious problems.......

However, be curious to see how Iman is playing - she did well in her first year in French league tennis (although she wasn't playing the top players, of course)

Yeah, just seen the odds and while she's still an underdog, according to those, she's the only Brit with half a chance to beat an overseas player in Q1. I remember her playing one of the April W25 events and there was a bit discussion about her there. I've not even heard of a couple of the GB players, but seeing some of the odds, I'm expecting a few of those usual wide defeats.

Shame for the twins, I suppose it's very likely one will go through, but given the field, they'd probably both have come here with expectations of qualifying, which obviously can't happen now unless there's a LL spot opening up.
