In the last couple of years the qualifying last direct acceptance has been way below Laura's ranking so hopefully that will be the case this year as well. I think this tournament won't count towards Laura's 16 for the year as well (unless she gets a WC)

I didn't know ther was a limit of wildcards, how does that work?

Here's a link to the WTA rulebook which is a very useful document. Page 59 covers Wild Card limits.

Laura is now in Beijing so I guess that means she'll be in the q draw tomorrow.

 Now I'm confused. She is way down on the alternates list, so how can she be in qualies?

I haven't checked, but to me that means she was on the alternates list for the main draw but insufficient players have dropped out to allow her in, so she has to play qualies.

 No, low down on the qualies list. At least when I compare the main draw list and qualies list, she's 18 below the last player that's been moved ot qualies.
