Yuliia Starodubtseva retired yesterday, so Harriet may be even closer.
A question mark also against Mertens, Pegula and Raducanu. We shall see. . . .
Wozniacki is out of the MD so Starodubtseva is in
Raducanu is already in Melbourne practising, as is Jelena, Katie, Fran and a few others.So she should be playing. However the entry into the WTA 250 in Singapore immediately afterwards suggests she maybe isnt expecting a deep run and has an additional opportunity to gain some points.

The AO qualies are out - Billy, Jan, Dan, Paul, Harriet, Lily, Fran and Heather all in and draws dont look too bad to be honest. Could have been a lot worse I think?
