Emily WS has sneaked onto the China 100K qualifying list.
Katy D has withdrawn from the USA 25K (hard) ( so much for my 4 out of 5 being down for action ) where Sasha Hill is onto the qualifying list. Good to see her and Victoria Allen listed.
Mandy has gone for the Tunisia 15K ( top of the MD entry list ) rather than the Spain 25K qualifying list.

I'm very surprised at this decision of Mandy's. I don't see the point of her stepping down again to a W15 with a maximum haul of 10 points and having to play 5 matches to get those. She's on the cusp of the top 350, win this tournament and it likely won't even move her up 10 places. It's not going to sharpen her competitive edge either.
In fact I suspect what happened is that she forgot to withdraw from this and then got automatically WD from Sevilla, which was listed as her top priority. Wonder if she'll actually play here.

Yes, bit strange re Mandy and she has now withdrawn from Tunisia today, 08/10.

Although the same date as last week's AWs (02/10) she is just down as a W from Spain. She would have been on the Spain Q list. I cant recall if still entered for both that would be enough to stop an AW or whether you need to be on the MD list for your priority 1.

No Delpo for the remainder of 2019 except for an exho with Federer in Argentina

Just to note that Tatiana Golovin (FRA) is making a comeback at the WTA in Luxembourg, 12 years after being forced to quit due to the horrible effects of Ankylosing spondylitis

Wishing her all the best.

Last Q direct acceptance is 541 but no Maia in the draw. Eden though is there.

Good and bad then. Yeah, it was the main sites official Twitter page, but there were so many scratched out that it was a mess to read. Maia must have pulled out late as well.

Maia retired in her last match over a month ago, so presumably not ready yet. Not seen the draw, but a rare non GB or Dubai WTA opportunity for Eden.

Good call by Kyle Edmund to take a qualies WC into Antwerp where he is defending champ. Konta out of Moscow with her ongoing knee injury.

I see that Mandy has ended up with a qualifying WC for the Spain 25K. Looks like Ace ( edit Michael rather ) was right that she never intended Tunisia rather than Spain.

Jo pulled out of the Kremlin Cup because her knee is still not right.

The Pitaks are still on the acceptance list, MD, for the event in Sharm this week.

But the draw is out and they're nowhere to be seen so I guess they've pulled out

Yes, last week was a bad week for them; I think about Wed they were both out of everything, so not fully surprised they haven't stayed. Kasia didn't win a singles match in three weeks there.
