She's in.
After a tough first round match (nerves? anger? both?), Yanina dropped a total of one game to officially qualify for the AO main draw. She (and the other qualifiers) will be slotted into the draw Saturday night, Australia time (so... basically, in a couple of hours). Seeds who could play a qualifier early include Sam, Ana, Kim and A-Bond (1r) and CSN, Ana (again), Dani, Flavs, Aravane, A-Bond (again), Masha and Dinara (2r).
UPDATE: Yanina has, indeed, been slotted into Sveta's quarter. She's on track to play Flavia in the second round. I would just like to say that (a) I totally called it and (b) wow, that quarter is a Slam unto itself. I'd be okay if we just pretended that was the whole draw.
