Out of interest why has the No 2 seed in qualifying been moved to main draw rather than the top seed?
Don't take this as gospel but I think it's because the moving to the main draw is done off the acceptance list - which is the origianl inscription date
Whereas the seedings are done off a later date (the withdrawal date?)
So the #2 seed was actually higher on the acceptance list than the #1 seed (who must have had some good results in the last two weeks - or the #2 seed had some good results from last year that rolled off)
Essentially yes. The seedings will be based on the rankings from the previous Monday or in this case, with Madrid being on, the previous previous Monday. With a Sharm M15 title Ansari moved up from ranked 650 on the acceptance list to WR 613 at 21/04 and top Q seed. But yes, it's still the acceptance list order that determines any moves into the MD. De Zeeuw moved from 638 to 632.
