Sorry I posted after you had already opened the thread. I checked the Takasaki thread just before falling asleep at about 4am and the R1 draw had still not been published. I posted shortly after I woke up without thinking to see if a thread had already been opened.

Great performance after a tricky turnaround

MrTSymonds · Junior player

Do we know when the Australian Open entry cut off is?
Can Harriet have three good tournaments and sneak in?
A win and a semi final should see her into the top 100.

Last year the top 93 made it into the draw initially with the top 99 making it after withdrawals.
So at the very minimum she needs to get into the top 115 to get a top seeded draw in qualifying.

emmsie69 · Top national player

She needs somewhere in the region of 200 points out of a total available of 350 so it's theoretically doable.

Harriet's match tonight/tomorrow morning is due to start at 2am UK time.

There seems to be more players than ever using SR'S or PR's to get into Grand Slam main draws. Former Grand Slam champions seemingly wanting to play but not with a high enough ranking include Emma, Wozniacki , Kerber and Ozaka. Then you can add on the likes of Patricia Tig of Rumania who has to qualify for a $25k tournament but has a protected ranking of 65 for Grand Slam purposes in 2023.
