What is the withdrawal deadline rules regarding both qualies and main draw considering quite a few players are still in French?

---

If you are still in the French Open in singles, doubles or mixed doubles at the time of the sign-in deadline for qualifying (tonight for women, tomorrow for men) then you are automatically withdrawn.

 Ok thanks, I thought that was the case but wasn't sure if Main Draw was a day later for withdrawals

He is now 4th alt

Wildcards to Evans, Corrie, Goodall and Bogdanovic

James Ward and Baker are competing in qualies

I am guessing that they still hope Ward might just make it as a DA and that if not he should be able come through qualifying.

Certainly agree that Goodall's form doesn't warrant a wild card.

So losing in first couple of rounds of futures every week gets you a wild card? Mind you Baker's been doing that as well

I imagine the thinking is that when on form Josh is a very good grass court player and so is capable of winning a some matches here.

The entry list seems to have a higher ranking demand although it will probably be similar to the womens in that another 6 or 7 will end up in qualies. The wild cards will be spread around the two
Challengers Eastbourne and queens so i reckon everyone in the top 600 will get one at some point. They have to take the chance and step up to the plate to be offered more I feel is the attitude and for once I'd agree with the LTA.
