I discounted Megan as I thought it was too big of a step up - QWC wouldn't have been surprising. Still, you neve know .........
Yes - bit of an optimistic shout - and maybe time for a rest after last week - but I wouldn't be THAT surprised - Hollie Smart also has a chance or even Daniella Britton?
Megan has a main draw WC this week or next as winner of the 16U Junior Nationals. The other names that spring to mind are Angelica, Katie and Eliz. I'd lean towards Angelica is she doesn't want a week off.
ETA: Hannah K can also take a main draw WC as 18U finalist.

All matches bar two are third and fourth today, not before 12:30. The other two are second matches on. Eight courts in play with all men's and women's matches scheduled.
Who is this Min Mahmut who has been given a qualifying spot here?
She is a 17 yr old junior who has not played any tennis on the junior itf circuit for quite a while (2023).
I like Min, and her dad
Bless her, she's tiny - and also a very good pianist - and a very nice girl
But I don't think she was 'given' a qualifying spot - she just entered and was 4th Alt on the list, above Sophia C and Sophie Bekker and Erin - all of whom also got in normally

Yes, all players with an ITF ranking, that were up to play, ultimately made it into qualifying.
