If an Alternate or Lucky Loser is accepted into the Draw, but when called is not available to play, she forfeits her place and the next Alternate or Lucky Loser will be called immediately to take the open spot.

The loser of the preliminary match will receive 1st round WTA Ranking points and 1st round prize money. Prize money payment to the loser of the preliminary match will not constitute an additional expense to the Tournament; it will be paid by the ITF.
