Well its only really Harriet that has a big ranking drop. Katie and Jodie only won 1 round at Eastbourne.

And of course they can now only gain points from this week, Eastbourne and Wimbledon.

 They both reached round 3, beating Pliskova and Badosa in round 2 respectively. And indeed the can, the rankings being a week out of sync throws up opportunities.

I'm just making the point that in the joy of Nottingham it's easy to forget just how many big wins all the girls racked up on the grass last year, and actually if they hadn't gone on these runs last week some of the rankings would be looking quite gloomy.

Indeed, but let's rejoice that actually as we stand now, with already one more grass court week taken off than has been added, because of the later calender, overall our leading women  are currently better ranked than they were before the French Open ( and that's not due to the French Open! ) 

We have our women in such grass court form, and as seagull says points from this week, Eastbourne and Wimbledon to add, and just Eastbourne week to come off ( Harriet 100, Katie B  55, Jodie 55, plus Katie S 48 from Hamburg ).

This is what the play-offs entry list would look like if everyone eligible signed in. I've assumed Sonay doesn't need to play and Emilie L and Amanda C won't sign in. I expect some of those here will get qWCs and won't need to play and there may be some that choose not to sign-in, so Jasmine should get in and I expect Talia to get in with a WC if not directly (if she needs to play that is) .

Naiktha Bains
Anna Brogan
Eliz Maloney
Eden Silva
Emily Appleton
Marni Banks
Maia Lumsden
Freya Christie
Katy Dunne
Beth Grey
Millie Rajecki (NCAA WC)
Ella Mcdonald (Girls #1 WC)
Ranah Stoiber (Girls #2 WC)
Ciara Moore (BT West Worthing WC)
Discretionary (LTA WC - UKPL Felixstowe WC not required)
Discretionary (LTA WC)


Next In
Jasmine Conway
Talia Neilson-Gatenby
Alice Gillan
Lauryn John-Baptiste
Matilda Mutavdzic

If that ends up being the field it would be the strongest for some time. Last year's was comparatively weak, with lots of players not turning up.

In practice I suspect a couple of those names will get QWCs, some others won't turn up (I think Freya will miss it now as she's through to the Birmingham QFs) and the cut will fall slightly.

Personally I think Venus will have to show some form in Birmingham to get a WC.

Saw the last few games as she beat Giorgi 7-6 in the 3rd after 3 hours and 17 minutes. Despite being a part time player these days she is a legend of the sport and at Wimbledon and will be someone the crowd will love to cheer. Will 100% be receiving a wild card and no one will deserve one more.

Absolutely

And the wildcard must have been guaranteed even before today's match because the commentators on BBC 2 early this afternoon, at Queens, mentioned she was definitely playing at Wimbledon (main draw), so it must be known

And anyway, as you say Wolf, all rather immaterial after today - she will get one (unless her body collapses), and lots in the crowd will love it, and I tink it's pretty inspirational....

Well, we should all know at least the initial WCs tomorrow.

If by some mischance it is not considered possible to.award all "the GB 5" MD WCs here and now, I really do hope they all end up with them.

Good wins today for Harriet and Katie S, who possibly are the two outsiders for WCs. I would consider Katie B and Jodie should be nailed on and then probably Heather next.

There are so many different measures that will tell to some extent different stories and I certainly dont think these making the decisions should be bound by rankings but as we stand tonight in live GB rankings, Katie B is well ahead, Jodie next  and then it is very tight before a big gap to Lily.

Live rankings after Tuesday play ( and now with all.2022 grass court points taken out ) :

1. Katie B  733
2. Jodie  572
3. Emma  548
4. Katie S  482
5. Heather  477
6. Harriet  462
7. Lily  299
8. Sonay  225

Being reported from a 'very reliable source' on another forum that Hannah has indeed got a quali wildcard

Which I'd been expecting - as had many others, I'm sure

She has the level, it's a great story, a great experience, she extremely nearly earned one anyway......and the key thing is, like Coco who also got one very young, she is truly exceptional for her age (she may not translate into an exceptional adult player but you can only deal with what you've got at the time)

I think that would be very well deserved, and I can absolutely see her winning a round.

Surprised there's not more qWC awarded. Maybe they'll award more depending on Play-off performances

Not yet. I guess they're waiting to see who wins this week and then they'll consider who to give the final WC to across all grass winners, that is if they're going to give any grass winner a WC.

Pleased for Emily App - but with Jodie's ankle a question mark, I'm not so sure it's going to work out well.....

Do you think that means Eden and Emily App etc will be playing the Play-offs?
