Fitting given how much Heather and Petra like their 3 setters

A breach by any of the allocated team members each player is allowed, is considered a breach by the player too.

That's great for Heather to be in that quad. I did wonder who Jo would pair with (Heather I'd assumed would have a number of options given her friendships on Tour so hadnt expected it to be Jo or a top 20 player), it would be nice to see them play doubles a couple of times this year with an eye on the Olympics if it goes ahead.

Anyone know if many/any LL will travel from Qualifying in case anyone has a positive test during quarantine or gets injured.

Seeing reports on twitter that Kyle has withdrawn from the Australian Open - I presume that will mean the whole swing of events as well.

 for Fran, Nicelescu is an interesting match. Real war of attrition, unconventional style but Fran needs to be solid and she can win that. Im going to go with Fran and Harriet winning openers

I'm gutted for Swan, she is next on the list but Yastremska has not been withdrawn yet. Not sure if there are any MDO left to get that spot but if not she really should be in and Yastremska out.

 Shouldnt yastremska be suspended ? Or is it pending an appeal. 

what does MDO stand for again, please?

MDO is Main draw only so they won't enter qualifying, not sure if there are any MDO left waiting for a spot or if they have all got in.  Not sure about Yastremska, she is supposed to be provisionally suspended from the 7th but hasn't been removed from the draw. I would expect someone in Katies camp will get clarification before tomorrows play starts.
