Brooke with the discretionary wc

Looking at the list of entries I think she might have been first alternate as well? If so a very reasonable and deserved decision!

Harsh for Emily Appleton and Ella McDonald to face off potentially for a place. I want Katy Dunne to win a place she deserves it imo.

Some of these groups are hard to predict, but I'm going to have a go.

First section. I'm not convinced about Naiktha's form, so I recken it is between Esther and Savanagh
Second section. Between Vic and Katy. Katy beat Vic 4 & 0 in a Hotelplanner tournament at the start of the year, so I'm hoping she can come through for the third year running.
Third section. Emily v Ella - could go either way.
Fourth section. Millie is favourite, but will be interesting to see how Sofia competes.

I'd like Katy and Emily to come through.

scottie1 · Futures level

Is Marni injured?

I'm probably wrong but I'm not a big fan of the tennis of either Esther or Savannah

Nor Vic

Real shame that Ella and Emily are in the same quarter

That's an ITF ranking for Sophie. Brooke is the only one of the 5 WCs with a WTA ranking.

I've added Alice's ranking in. All checked with the WTA.

Good stuff

Canda · Lower Club Player

What does QA mean? Is it the same as DA Direct Acceptance?
I suspect that Esther will qualify in her quarter.

sammmm · Lower Club Player

Also surprised to see no Ranah, Im guessing Marni isnt fit enough which is a shame because I think shed do well in Qualies

I fancy Katy D to come through her section and I think Ella will beat Emily A to a spot. Happy to see Brooke in but tough on Ruby that she just misses out and surprised theres no wildcard for Tegan but it looks like theyve gone for younger players

Brooke would have been 2nd alt behind Lauryn JB. If Brooke was next in they'd have just given her direct entry and not used the WC like they did with Allegra.
