Sharon Walraven will replace her fellow Dutchwoman Aniek van Koot in the field for the 2013 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters and the 2013 ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters.

Van Koot has withdrawn from next month's season-ending championships for the world's top players on the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour due to injury.

World No. 9 Walraven will still be one of three Dutch players in the women's singles field for the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters and will now partner Jiske Griffioen in the ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters.   

The top eight men's singles and women's singles players and the top four quad singles players at the ranking cut-off date of 16 September qualify for the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters.

The top eight men's doubles pairings, the top six women's doubles pairings and the top four quad doubles pairings based on combined doubles rankings at the ranking cut-off date of 16 September make up the field for the ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters.

The 2013 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters (5-11 November) and the 2013 ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters (7-11 November) will both take place in Mission Viejo, California.
