 Nope! Laura does not have a world ranking and the points that she has accrued would have dropped off now if the rankings hadn't been frozen so she meets the criteria!!

 Stewards enquiry, I'm gonna complain to the organisers!

 Appeal rejected. Anyhow, I don't think she was in the current players recent poll so think she can qualify for this one!!!!!

I am a big fan of Laura but to guard against being accused of bias (!!!) am choosing Sam in this one. Remember her beating Conchita Martinez unexpectedly and I think she is one of the better current commentators.

 Sam beat Conchita on the way to the last 16 of Wimbledon in 1998 and that is the last occasion that any woman born in Britain reached the last 16 of any Grand Slam singles.

I know it is probably pedantic, but as others have said, surely Laura can't be a former player. Loving seeing all the great names from the past though and it is a really good competition.

 Laura could be a former player because in a recent interview she said  after her hip operation she stil  cannot run. Additionally she has not played for 11 months.
