Yeah insane for a 250 but that's what happens when no high ITFs!!

Main draw wildcards Katie, Harriet and Fran again?

Mimi is first to play on Saturday. I think the OOP is mixed up with the men's challenger event, which isn't showing on the ATP website at the moment

Agreed Paul, really makes you wish there was a W75 on grass for our players around 300+ given a number will be in Wimbledon qualifying and more matches against players in the 150-300 range would be helpful

 I wonder if we can read something from the fact theyve given Hannah a qWC here over Heather and Jodie

My guess is the MDWCs were set go to 3 of Katie B, Fran, Harriet and Katie S (but very unlikely now given she just retired hurt). Alicia, Mika and Mimi makes sense for qWC but the fact Hannah has one instead of Heather and Jodie makes me think shes more likely to get a Wimbledon main draw WC then those 2

There's 4 WCs.

 Indy and I are going for Hannah for a MD WC, so no question biggrin

Seriously, I think Hannah easily comes above Jodie in their reckoning, given where both players are now

Heather has a better claim, a different sort of claim, but Hannah may still get the nod - and you may well find Heather in the MD anyway

Mika will be playing an alternate. McNally is still in S'Hertogenbosch with her match carried over to tomorrow.

 I saw that and wondered why McNally hadn't informed Nottingham - that match was suspended for so much of today

 Rakhimova will be out as well, as she plays Emma in London tomorrow.

Will McNally get an SE to the main draw?

(She's higher ranked than Rakhimova)

McNally is scheduled to play her last 8 in Netherlands at 10am. Even if she loses, I cant see how she can make it to Nottingham for 3pm scheduled match versus Mika? As CD says, if she wins in NL, would she get an SE here for being a semifinalist there? Either way, hard to see her playing Mika here, but I may be wrong!
