RE: Wimbledon wildcards (women)

The order of GB women that will determine entry to the play-offs is set. Although we don't know yet who has the qWCs that won't need to play the play-offs we can be confident that at least 5 of our women in the top 600 will get them. Mika's qWC doesn't affect play-off participants, other than to award her guaranteed WC to the play-offs to someone else. Lily, Marni, Mimi and Hannah I expect to get at least a qWC. That leaves 1qWC left which is more uncertain who it would go to, but let's say it will go to either Ella or Millie. Obviously if Ella or Millie don't get the last qWC and it goes to, say, Emily or Ranah then just swap them with Ella or Millie. If any of the expected qWCs get a main draw WC then a qWC will go to 1 of the others I have in the play-offs and the 1st alts will take their place. I don't know if Katy Dunne has a SR. It would get her into the playoffs if she does. I'm going to assume that she does. All of which would leave the play-off participants, if everyone that can play does, as

1. Katy Dunne (if she has a SR)
2. Ella Mcdonald or Millie Rajecki (whoever doesn't get the last qWC)
3. Emily Appleton
4. Ranah Stoiber
5. Alice Gillan
6. Naiktha Bains
Beth I assume will not play
7. Katie Swan (SR)
8. Esther Adeshina
9. Freya Christie
10. Katherine Barnes
West Worthing WC: if Katherine doesn't need it as seems likely, reverts to discretionary WC
NCAA WC: Sofia Johnson (I expect Alicia Dudeney if Sofia doesn't sign in)
Junior WC x 2: Top 3 juniors with at least qWC. Reverts to 2 discretionary WCs. I expect to go to other juniors
2 discretionary WCs

Alts
1. Hep Oluwadare (if Katy has a SR, last in if not)
2. Kristina Paskauskas
3. Tara Moore
4. Angelica Blake
5. Lauryn John-Baptiste
6. Vic Allen
7. Brooke Black
8. Holly H
9. Daniela Piani
10. Katy Dunne (if she doesn't have a SR)

It's just as well there are lots of discretionary WCs as I see lots of candidates: Blake, Dudeney, Black, Piani, Allegra KD, Flora J, Knight, D Britton, Hollie S to name the more obvious options

Looks potentially a very strong and quite unpredictable line-up!

 

Also - has Beth officially stopped playing?

Thanks TA ( Lambda even ). Yes, looks a very strong potential field if we assume an initial pre play-offs 10 ( MD + Q ) British WCs, and I'd doubt that it be more than that.

As discussed elsewhere, I very much doubt that we will see Katie Swan in the Wimbledon process, even though some have even been putting her name forward for a WC.

 Heart over head for me!

It was Lambda, not me. But I do have a very similar list all ready for Wednesday's draw !

Katie is in London - pretty sure she'll play the play-offs. I mean she tried it last year.

Katy Dunne is also intending to play - if she gets in. Not sure if SR applies for the play-offs.

 

Edit:- Yes SR (or protected ranking) can be used for acceptance.

I commented on the entries thread but will repeat here. I see no reason why either Katie or Katy wouldn't enter the playoffs. They've had their sighters and appear to be as healthy as they have been for a while. It's potentially 3 matches, the 1st 2 of which shouldn't give either Woman too much difficulty. The standard will be W15 level and they've both managed at that level recently. It's not as though they will be playing every day for a week.

Today's rankings would be a much more sensible list on which to base the main draw acceptances. It now incorporates the results of the last Slam, and a couple of weeks' worth of grass warm up tournaments.

Boisson and Jovic would be direct acceptances, for a start.

 She hasn't withdrawn from Palma yet which is hard outdoor

 Keeping her options open ? Still time to play the playoffs and get to Palma for Sunday qualifying if she loses.

 Or even just maybe a fortnight preparing well for the main event ...

 She doesn't need to withdraw unless she gets through the playoffs.  IMO the entry to Palma was always the backup plan.
