[JTContinental]

Navarro withdrew with an illness, so Zheng and Krejcikova will be the last two YEC qualifiers.

Navarro will be first alternate, and either Badosa or Kasatkina second alternate

[ponchi101]

Too far to travel to be an alternate. Except that I hear that the Riyadh nightlife is truly something else.

[JTContinental]

Also I would be surprised if Rybakina plays, so probably worth the trip.

[ponchi101]

If Elena doesn't play, she will be guaranteed and entry. So, sure, go.

If Elena doesn't play, she will be guaranteed and entry. So, sure, go.

They get paid as an alternate - and more if they get into a match.

So the financial incentive is there.

But it then limits their training and off-season.

Not to mention - I can't imagine being 9th in the world, flying halfway around it to just sit and watch others play. There are some mental aspects to that I can't fathom

For some strange reason, I think that Emma Navarro is one young woman that really would not care about financial incentives.

[Fastbackss]

Haha , fair, I neglected to consider that minor detail
