The list of players admitted to the qualifying table of theAustralian Open was disclosed this Wednesday. Yet 82nd in the world, Alycia Parks will be the number 1 seed in this event. She won too late Angers… The organizers decided to grant a wild card to Simona Halep. Since her return from suspension, the Romanian, 33, has only played four matches. During her return to the Clarins Trophy in May, she injured her knee. She is currently training Dubai. Another star forced to go through the “q’s”: the Italian Sara Errani.

Eight French women involved
The French contingent amounts to eight girls. But there is one missing mark: Océane Dodin, 111th in the world. Eighth finalist last year, the Northerner – probably injured – will therefore lose a lot of points. The tricolor colony will be composed of Jessica Ponchet – who will be seeded – Léolia Jeanjean, Elsa Jacquemot, Selena Janicijevic, Manon Léonard, Kristina Mladenovic, Carole Monnet et Alice Tubello.
