L16:- Madeleine Brooks (GBR) / Isabelle Haverlag (NED) CR172 (104+68) [1] v Caijsa Hennemann (SWE) / Sofya Lansere (***) CR471 (313+158)

I think EWS was on the entry list, but hasn't made the draw

I think she will continue to chase ranking points.

Fran has done great with these 2 successive WTA 125 titles. And with these 2 titles and 275 points in July she has almost covered her 2 WTA 125 titles and 290 points from July last year.

With much less to defend for the rest of the year ( nothing at all until September ), and no imminent cut-off conerrns, I would have certainly been looking for her taking at least this week off now ( even although I believe entries get trickier, over in the US at least, for the women before US Open Q, a bit like Wimbledon ). Actually I see she is down for a Germany W75 next week with then just the 2 weeks after that before US Open Q. So just play the German tournament then get on the hard courts in competition and / or practice?

Perhaps play the longer game, and keep on top of her health and fitness?

Has the cut-off for the US open passed?

 Yes - as posted by Indi in the Palermo thread, Fran was 12th alternate for the main draw

 Yep, think that's about the weirdest I've ever seen in about 40 years of following tennis...
