Well congrats to Emma, the only win against the seedings during qualifying, and giving us 3 Brits going through to the main draw, which is one more than I expected today.

Not sure what to expect really.

If Gabby was in top form I'd expect her to be there or thereabouts come the final but who knows.

Yes, its a great article. Even though we all know it's tough it still puts things into perspective well - and makes it clear that Eden is very ambitious! Well good luck to her, and in that case, this is a very important coming year for her, since she needs her ranking to improve 250+ places in the coming year if she is really to have any chance of making some kind of living from tennis.

I'm not sure Emily App quite has it in her (do so hope to be wrong) but top seed, Paolini, was the player that Eden most certainly should have won the first set against in the Wimbly qualis, and then maybe the match.

She really seems to be a clay court player and Eden made her look very ordinary for a large chunk of that match.

Well we 're certainly throwing numbers into the top seed's quarter ( Emily App and the two all Brit ties ) and from CD's account she may well not be the worst seed to be in with.

Play under way, Emma v Alicia the only match with Brit interest in those scheduled first, On serve, Alicia 1-0*

indiana · Tennis legend

Very nice 5 points to the winner there. With the qualification point 6 for Emma.
