They were originally on the JiuJiang entry list together for this coming week but looks like Harriet withdrew. I guess makes sense for at least one week of clay prep before RG qualifying..!

She doesn't appear to be entered into anything, also looks like all the Aussies in FO qualifying aren't bothering with any clay prep either. The WTA haven't really given them much to enter. Ordinarily a WTA 125 would be for that range but they can't get into those either. Pretty poor tbh.

The WTA should be ensuring that all players have access to tournaments on an appropriate surface in the weeks before a GS.

Harriet originally entered a W75 in France and a W100 in Florida this week, plus W75's in Croatia and Slovakia next week, al on clay. She withdrew from them all early last month.
