Could be a very important week for Fran re securing French Open MD direct entry.
Live rankings indicate that she will be WR 100 tomorrow with the following Monday being the relevant date for the entry list.
Fran has nothing to drop next week ( with an 18th counter of 1 point so any win is profit ) but I don't yet know about entries or points drops from these around her in the rankings. Or who might have a protected ranking stored up.

Looking at Open Era it doesn't like like many players just above or below her have a large number of points to come off on 13th. Of those above her Gracheva is definitely out with an ACL injury, the older Kudermetova hasn't played this year has she? Who knows re Vondrousova, not played since January, Boisson, not played since last October. There will be a few others injured I expect too. There are 6 players below her within 25 points including Vecic and Badosa so I think she may need to win one match as some will possibly overtake her otherwise.
