Wonder if it was worth the auto withdrawal from Beijing?

 Maybe she didn't want to let down her doubles partner? smilesmile winkwink

 Maybe. And obviously they didn't know they would lose. Still people have given w/o for less I'm sure.

 Indeed. But she may have had a post-Wimbly point to make..... (hence my 'winks').

 I know, I got the ref to Jay. I just think that particular point has been drawn out enough.

No, not worth it. Certainly not in financial terms, and the singles points are more important right now. ($3700 and 20 points for just turning up in Beijing)

The drawsheet is wrong for the points. It is 2 points in Mandatories as in Slams. It should read 2/20/30 rather than 20/30/0.

Maybe got a bit confused with the 0 prize money shown for qualifiers, which is normal on Q drawsheets as I assume qualifiers just get the same total money as direct MD entrants.

That said I still agree it wasn't worth it in overall terms. But as Ace says she/they were rather compromised by the #1 seeds' withdrawal.

Now you point it out, it's obvious. I just looked at the draw on the ATP/WTA app on my tablet.

The problem was that originally she was quite far down the alternates list and a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush

Just a note that Hayley Carter and Luisa Stefani went on to win the title.
