Certainly on the face of it strange not to play here. Hopefully sensible tennis scheduling logic behind missing Birmingham.

Actually, just thinking a bit more, is there any minimum ranking for playing WTA 125s?

Play-down restrictions to a WTA125 differ depending on what other tournaments are on that week. In the 2nd week of a Grand Slam, only the top 20 can't play (2 players ranked 11-20 can play with a WC)
