So my local tournament in its 25th year anniversary. I reckon I will try and go most days. Personally, i am really hoping Schmieds comes down here to qualify. Would make my year.
My thoughts earlier when the field was announced.
new news regarding wildcards. One of them has been given to
Eugenie Bouchard. yay......
She made the final down here in 2016 so miracles can happen. Tells you have far she has fallen when she needs a WC to enter Hobart of all places. Hobart seems to offer a WC to a big international name so this should have been expected really. They had Schiavone and Hantuchova in recent years as WC's. You think the rest will go to Aussies and young ones at that.
25 days to go.

Hobart entry list. slightly biased with my love of this tournament.
Great that Mertens and Cornet are back. Interesting that last years finalist Niculescu didn't make the cutoff point. Really interested to watch talented teen, Markéta Vondroušová.
Hopefully, the new rules work and we don't get withdrawal city. I really want to watch Cirstea as well.
