Rutuja, her doubles partner from last week must already have been taken, so Emily has another new partner again this week R16: Emily Webley-Smith/ Kwan Yau Ng (GBR/HKG) 1129 (2...

At least they avoid Ksenia Lykina early this week, who is in the bottom half of the draw. Laura is missing as noted in the Wuhan thread, but Kat...

Another tough qualifying draw for Lissey again this week. In a draw of 64 she will likely have to get past the top q seed Berfu Cengiz (TUR) WR 453 in the FQR to reach the main draw. And two matches to get that far. Freya, in contrast, has an easier draw this week (having lost to Lissey in last week's qualifyi...
