This is so disappointing, but at least the hard working Emilie Lindh is still on the list. I watched her stream for only the first time today but she's fast becoming my favourite female player....ish.
Anna pulled out some time before the updated with withdrawals. She was missed (again)
I suspect they might all be headed to the 2 x 25k event sim Cyprus in the following weeks. One week in Portugal wasnt really logistically a good idea. And then season over for everyone in the main bar the backpackers/coaches you get in random ITF events of the festive period.
If you're referring to the edit made yesterday, Anna wasn't missed. I don't know what the edit Seagull did yesterday was, but it wasn't to update the women's list with withdrawals. Katie S, Marni, Millie Rajecki, Tiffany William, Isabelle Cherny as well as Anna all withdrew before yesterday. Some of them well before Anna did.
Neal and Joe have a group with Bopanna and Ebden and Hijikata and Kubler. Interesting - 3 of the 4 slam winning pairs are here in this group but must be doubts about H and K form and preparedness.
youd like to think one of Neal and Joe can make progress.
Harriet is down to play doubles in Japan with Valeria Savinykh, but is well down the alternates on the advanced entry list. Holly and Madeleine are higher up the alternates list, but still might not make the draw. They have travelled anyway for a 3-week Japan stint.
