Mimi (Mingge) Xu

I'm confident Mimi will be in qualifying. When was the last time there were zero withdrawals between the list being announced and the beginning of qualifying.

Mimi has withdrawn from the United cup and was in Swansea over Christmas so wondering if shes injured and missing the Aus trip all together?

She travelled back home as expected. Nothing to suggest an injury but she did have a few back to back tough weeks. Suggest maybe not ready. Replaced in UC by Katie Swan and then Billy Harris also in for Jack. Glassman drops out. Expect Emma to follow in 24 hours.

I suspect it's more a case that the United cup isn't great prep for qualifying. If it was either Katie B or Harriet would be in the team.

Any particular reason to believe Emma will pull out or just being pessimistic?

Pessimistic! The only thing that might swing it is that Tim H is the captain. However she could Like JD give an injury update as she has been pretty quiet on socials, enjoying Christmas with her friends and family - no gym work posted. Katie B on the other hand has done a good training block in Alicante and is already in Auckland..
