Wow good for her taking a punt, it's worked for Liam a couple of times recently
That's a very last minute dash, what with quarantine on arrival until test result is available (Em and Eden already there). Singles qualification starts tomorrow morning, so it might be that she can squeeze in, or maybe for doubles (using her singles ranking). The entry list for Linz main draw is a bit thin - Friedsam WR109 and Haas WR146 (WC ?) are the last names showing on the official site.
Anna Brogan now up to A8 an Isabelle Lynch A9 from A78 and A91 in Sharm. Wonder if Anna would be offered a WC after this weeks performance.

Only three women's ITF tournaments this week, and apart from Anna and Isabelle in Sharm, the only players left are Eliz Maloney Q22 in Heraklion and Tara Moore Q10 in Orlando. One or two players still on the alt lists, but highly unlikley to get into qualies.
Jodie has a random QWC for Linz but has a tough match against Q4 Martincova, who has started to make strides in WTA events and qualifying for slams, but an unexpected opportunity.
Harriet did get a random MDWC for Linz 2 years ago.

I'm pretty certain last year's Linz qualifying was streamed on the bettimg sites, as I'm sure I watched Gauff lose her FQR (before getting a LL spot and winning the title), so worth checking tomorrow.
Eurosport are covering the event (as usual) rather than Prime.
In Sofia, as well Jamie and neal and jonny and ken, lloyd and alex Lawson are now 3rd alts. With the draw shifting they could get in (these are 3rd onsite alts- presumably they arent physically onsite as they play tomorrow in Germany, there must be a process...
Felix Gill, born 2002, should be in the MD of Spain, using his Junior ranking to get a JR place.
Glad to see some of our players actually using their JR opportunities - all the 2002-ers (in the top 100) will lose them in a couple of months and just be back to playing first round qualis.
Find it strange that Toby Samuel hasn't shown up at all, and Marni only just (and even that Felix has left it right to the last minute, although I guess it wasn't that easy over summer).
