By my bag of a fag pack reckoning Harriet is currently 1 off a seeding in qualies, a few above her dropping some points next week, and as we know, very little opportunity to gain any.

There are still some qualifying matches held over to be played tomorrow... well this evening our time.

I think that's enough to get a top 32 seeding for US Open also nice to see Harriet hit a bit of form.

Is there definitely a rankings update before the draw comes out?

seagull · Tennis legend

Was this played indoors?

While there will presumably be an update after Montreal, at least by 17/08, I would assume that that will be the one used for US Open Qualifying seedings rather than the 24/08 update. So the points that Harriet and others are adding here and points coming off next week would be irrelevant.

Yeah, presumably the draw will be made on the Sunday 23rd if the qualies action starts on the Monday, so they will use those prior rankings not including any Cinci results in them

will her +18 points go on for qualifying in Cincinnati or will thay not be added until after the Final. These 10 day 1000's are causing so much confusion.
