Looking at mens entry lists , Paul Jubb is on alts list at around mid 20s for monastir and antalya. Felix Gill and Arthur Fery are well down the junior alts lists.
Not sure if fields will fall apart enough to let them in but looks like it.
Not sure if all 3 will try subsequent weeks over xmas at same venues.
Thanks TA - although it is debatable if 16 of the top 100 for a ITF W100 event is actually that poor ( I think it is pretty decent in fact), it is to me quite an attractive set of players that have entered, so even if there are no big wild cards, it will be an interesting event to round the season off
Your definition of alts is slightly different to that of the ITF - they call them qualifiers !
I'll post some lists later in the week after the withdrawal deadline, as at the moment there are more than 30 entries between the five tournaments, but few in qualifying yet.
Those that are, include Mandy, Katie B and Lissey - all in Madrid.
There are more than 10 Brits in the Dubai alternates list, including Eden, Emma R, Naomi, EWS as well as those Jon mentions.

Apologies I just did a quick scan, looked generally quite threadbare but I didnt work down the lists. You are right qualies. To be honest, I am lucky to get past main draw and would have stopped at Heather, my interest soon wanes!!

And in another example of things changing, Katie now main draw and Emily and Emilie both top 5 Alts so would expect them to make qualifying.
Should be more opportunities this week - Madrid and Antalya are 64 qualifying, and Cairo is 48 (although no ranked Brits entered there). Some movement in the lists overnight, but expecting much more today and tomorrow.
