Mertens retires at 3-6 0-3 which leaves Katie secure at WR32

 Does that mean she'd play Iga in R3?

 No, she would play any one of the top eight seeds depending on the draw. There is a set procedure for placing the seeds in the draw as set out in the Grand Slam Rulebook

 No, seeded positions are drawn for. I think No 32 seed would  have a potential R3 match against any of the top 8 seeds.

Or Sakkari! Or to be honest Iga would be better than a lot of the top 8.

 Thanks, I assumed if matches went with seeding no.1 played no.32 in R3, no.16 in R4, no.8 in QF, no.4 in SF and no.2 in the final.

It is seeding blocks, with an element of randomness, as in ATP and WTA tour and ITFs.

For Slams, #1 seed is placed at the top, #2 seed is placed at the bottom, then seeds 3 & 4 go randomly to the 2 halves. 

For the QF, seeds 5 to 8 are randomly bracketed with any of seeds 1 to 4.

For the L16, seeds 9 to 12 are bracketed with seeds 5 to 8 and seeds 13 to 16 bracketed with seeds 1 to 4.

For the L32, seeds 17 to 24 are bracketed with seeds 9 to 16 and seeds 25 to 32 bracketed with seeds 1 to 8.

 I don't know the rules so genuine question.

Muchova is set to return after a long lay off. Although she still qualifies for the tournament as of right is she not entitled to use her protected ranking, which would have been a seed thus demoting Katie by 1 more place?

I thought you could use a protected ranking to enter a tournament but not for seeding. But could be wrong.

 Thanks. That seems pretty tough if so.

I can confirm that's correct.

The above is correct for a Grand Slam.
For WTA tournaments (except draws of 48 and 96), a player with a top 100 protected ranking who would be a seed with the protected ranking will be an additional seed. This doesn't displace anyone that is a seed on their normal ranking. The additional seed will be placed in the draw so they don't play a seeded player in the 1st round.

Heather and Greet have given a walkover to Kato and Zhang in their doubles quarter final

 So that's back-to-back walkovers Heather has given in doubles having won her first match. Do we know if it's her on one/both occasions?


It was Heather that withdrew on both occasions. Official reason given as back injury in Notts and just injury in Bham.
