NOTE: This is the best list I could find and it's not from an official site

That is a good field, considering it's a week before a major.

Ever since Krejcikova....

And I dint remember it being a 500..must have been upgraded..500 points are always worth playing for...

Especially for players that most likely will not reach a late round at RG and will not earn a lot of point.
Could it be that some of them thought "Hey, week before a slam, nobody big is going to show up for this". And now, here you are.

I actually agree. But as she never ceases to complain that they make the top players play too much...

Do you think she ever contemplates how she jinxed the rest of her career with that comment? She should date Zverev.
