Qualifying starts tomorrow (Saturday 10/10)

Entry lists can be found here (Thanks Lambda).

9 withdrawals from the original list mean that Katie B and Sonay have made the main draw. It's a 56 draw, so they won't be playing a seed in the first round.

In the doubles, Liv and Tereza are 11th on a strong entry list, with Maia and Alexandra 19th. It's a 28 team draw, so the top 4 seeds will get a bye.

 They appear to have met twice before. Liv and Tereza won the final in Berlin in 2025 by a MTB. Errani and Paolini won in the second round in Miami this year in straight sets.

It is looking like 6 pairs in the chase for the last spot in the finals, with the ones currently in the top 7 spots (not counting Krunic and Danilina) looking almost secure. A title for one of those 6 pairs could change things though. It's slightly more complicated as there are some different pairings at the moment and these may not feature in the race - eg Siniakova is close behind, but already qualified with Townsend.

Let's face it the only reason Olivia & Tereza are in with a shout is because of the inconsistenties of how often other pairs have played together.

I agree. If they had won just a few more matches instead of that run of first round losses they would be much better placed. As it stands I would think that at best they might make the alternates spot.

 Aww, she will have the memory of that first intimate wedding ceremony when he was well enough to attend and give her away.

 Noskova's pulled out with a calf injury - Bencic takes her place.

 Fresch gets the LL place. Belinda Bencic (SUI) WR12 [9] has been moved to Noskova's spot.
