Guessing no, meaning Raducanu is only two spots out of the main draw, I think. She hasn't gotten a WC yet, so she would have to play qualifying if two more players don't withdraw.

time to put an end to this corrupt pracice of slams exchanging wild cards.. not fair to countries who are not wealthy enough to have one - even though they have great players, like Spain, Czech.. etc

Rodionova is almost 100 years old, is really Russian, hasn't played at the AO since 2012, and according to Wikipedia and the WTA website, retired in August 2023. Tennis Australia always gives their home country wildcards to younger talent, so that just looks like Ben looking to create controversy again when there isn't any.

But why would Daria Saville be more deserving? Rodionova is in the top 100 and Saville is #176 - and 29. Not young.
