Abu Dhabi qualifying draw is out and Jodie Burrage is the 3rd seed!
She will play Nadia Kichenok in R1.
Good to see, a great opportunity !

With Aus Open qualies taking place in Dubai from Jan 10th, players in the 100 to 230ish ranking bracket cannot enter Abu Dhabi qualies, which provides a golden opportunity for players ranked even lower to try & make it into a WTA main draw.
Apparently not, I'm a bit confused as to why a player can't play Abu Dhabi qualies and AO qualies but can play main draw and AO qualies, surely the same problem applies.
