Does anyone know if there is now a good resource for checking future entry lists for womens players, WTA level?
In the way Darts does for mens? I know the history obviously and WTA not publishing them, but wondered if anything had sprung up that collated entries over the past year or so? Thanks!
I was looking at Katie Swan's points and I think she actually has 24 points to come off in November - 18 from Sunderland and 6 from Lousada - so even worse for her unless she starts to play again soon, and she actually will lose another 6 after the first week in December too (Lousada 2).
That means she could lose 43 out of the 71 points she has currently by early December, with the others also due to go by February.
It's all gone pretty quiet after her op in the summer - wonder if anyone knows why (again) she isn't playing at the moment.
I wonder where Jodie is at too - it has been a terrible year for her too.

Jodie is down to play Bratislava next week and Shrewsbury the week after. I've no idea about Katie Swan - haven't spotted her on entry list for the coming weeks.

Katie's points off are :-
Oct Shrewsbury 13 Nov Sunderland 18 Dec Lousada x2 10 (5+5) Jan Nonthaburi x2 12 (1+11) Feb Burnie x2 17 (1+16)
Sadly no news on about her injury or playing plans. The Aussie open is early this time - warm up tournaments start end December.
Thanks for the updates on Katie Swan - she gained 6 points in both of the Lousada tournaments (12 overall), so I guess I don't understand exactly how the ranking points work if only 10 are to come off, but I guess as the first tournament didn't finish until November 25th last year, that her Lousada ranking points may not come off until December.
It is though a worrying time for Katie S - the injuries, psychological traumas from losing and then feeling worthless, added to the loss of nearly all her ranking points means that she is now almost starting from scratch, and at 25, that must be quite hard for her, I think, not only mentally but financially too.
I am one of those people who have followed her career for years and who believes that if she is fit, with a good mindset and firing on all cylinders, that she has a game that belongs in the top 100, but it is really starting to feel like crunch time for her right now, and I feel it is crucial that she has a really good season in 2025.
Pleased to hear that Jodie is on the way back to playing again - she's a good player and needs to get some points in before she losing too many more ranking points.

She's currently spending time in the US with her family, seems in good spirits but no hint of an imminent return to the court.
