Hamburg - EWS in the qualifying draw, but none of the others - Beth would have made it as the two below her are in.
Pretty annoying if Katie ends up missing out because of Yastremska.
Apart from Yastremska, there are some more question marks. Apparently Anisimova had a positive test in Dubai, Ferro withdrew, Mertens, Cirstea and Flipkins are all injured. If they don't withdraw from the AO I presume their places would be taken by Lucky Losers, as it is a bit late to move people up from qualifying.

Beth was not allowed to go as was travelling direct from UK. Jodie ok as was travelling from Abu Dhabi. Not sure about EWS.

But doesn't work count as essential travel? Most people seem to think so. She's a pro tennis player. That's work. You need a negative test but that's commonplace now (needing it, that is, not actually the negative test itself, unfortunately)
Hmm, well Em appears to be there, not only from the draw but from a post on Instagram about hotel food. Something doesn't seem right there. Surely both Beth and Em are elite tennis professionals, and should both be under the same restictions ?

Two players told me that they weren't allowed to travel from UK. Maybe EWS travelled from elsewhere?
