Rotterdam qualies cut originally started at 107, but with all the withdrawals it has now fallen down to 161.
Boggo actually would be 4th alternate now, but has withdrawn today so makes the whole thing irrelevant and confirming he will be having a training week.
That isn't too surprising given that he didn't play Dallas qualifying last week either, though he would have made the cut for qualifying in San Jose. Hope he's ok.
Jamie B pulled out of the Zagreb Future at the last minute too, so only 3 of the GB top 10 men are in action next week, though quite a few of those lower down the list are playing.
Anne K pulled out of Paris too - since the top seed in qualifying is WR 98, I assume she'd have been in the main draw there if she'd wanted to be. That leaves only 4 of the GB top 25 women in action next week.

Evo has now withdrawn from Bressuire too - I hope this isn't another case of a certain DC captain wanting his potential players to prove their allegiance by chucking away another chance to score ranking points in order to do some training ... I seem to remember that happened once before, though surely it's still too early for thatto be happening this time ... in which case, why have they withdrawn, I wonder?
