L32: (7) Johanna Konta WR 153 v Julia Glushko (ISR) WR 176 (CH 157 last Sep) Probably the worst R1 draw JoKo could have got as a seed - the H2H is 0-4 (0-2 in juniors & 0-2 in seniors), including a 3 & thrashing in the Lexington 50K Final last summer, though there are two 3-setters in that H2H as well...

L32: (8) Heather Watson WR 50 v Timea Babos (HUN) WR 73 (CH 59 last Aug) Starting with her loss to Petkovic in New Haven (and includng her loss to JoKo at the USO), Babos is on an 8-match losing streak, though she did go very close against Mladenovic at the AO - the Impaler won 11-9 in the 3rd.

Amanda Carreras plays a tournament on a surface other than clay! Two late WC's mean that Mandy is not the #1 seed, as had looked likely.
