Harriet, Katie B and Fran will be seeded for AO qualifying.

Withdrawals for Bath are coming thick and fast as expected.
Will have a better idea this evening, but looks like lots of GB men in main draw and seeded and just a couple of ladies.

Beth now 6th. And Eden 13th. And Lissey in the MD too.

However, on my list, Matilda has just withdrawn - and from Tunisia too - maybe she's injured - which would be a real shame.

Emily WS should make the main draw (she's second in qualis, which will be fine already, if not SEs)

However, Sonay has withdrawn, as well as Matilda.

Is it possible they would have done so because they've been offered wildcards? Does it work like that?

It is very possible - see your own post on the previous page    Lauryn is in qualifying at the moment, but should have one too.

 Sorry  What I meant was, if you're offered a wildcard, you don't normally HAVE to withdraw, do you? But maybe you might withdraw, just to be polite, really, and make the lists 'real'? 

It's not the offer of a wildcard I'm thinking about but the process. 

WTA might be different but Diane Parry shows as a withdrawal from the AO qualifying and has a WC into MD. Can't see why Matilda would take a WC when she makes MD off her ranking but maybe Sonay has a MD WC?

As Matilda was an automatic main draw, it would have thrown up a spare wildcard, so she is obviously not playing.

Expect Lauryn, Sonay and a couple of youngsters Jasmine etc to get wildcards.

On the men side, plenty already in, Julian Cash, Toby Samuel expected plus a choice of juniors or tour players.
