See Section III.A.2.c.ii. 

a. Main Draw Singles* 

i. Top 10 Player Replacement 

If a Top 10 Player who was a direct acceptance withdraws after the Qualifying Sign-In Deadline, a Tournament may replace that Top 10 Player with another Top 10 Player based on the WTA Rankings as of the Main Draw entry deadline who is eligible (subject to WTA 250 Tournament entry restrictions) up until the Main Draw is made. The replacement Top 10 Player does not have to have previously entered the Tournament, and once the replacement Top 10 Player is confirmed, she fills the Main Draw spot vacated by the withdrawing Top 10 Player. If the Tournament does not secure a replacement Top 10 Player, the vacated Main Draw spot is filled according to parts ii and iii of this Section V.A.3.a. 

ii. Before Qualifying Begins 

Next-In Main Draw Alternates, based on the WTA Rankings or Special Rankings currently used for alternate status, will fill any such openings. 

iii. After Qualifying Begins 

Lucky Losers will fill any such openings in the Main Draw, except in the following cases: 

(a) An Alternate Wild Card replacement (see Section III.C.5 - Filling Vacant Wild Card Spots); 

(b) The correction of a WTA administrative error (see Section V.A.4 - On-Site Draw Procedure for Administrative Error - Preliminary Match); or 

(c) There are more Main Draw withdrawals than there are Lucky Losers (see Section V.A.1.b.iii - Alternates).
