)
(Preview)
Sarah Borwell was on the qualifying list for this challenger but due to reaching the quarters in Palm Desert she won't make the qualies sign-in even if she loses to Julie Ditty. Hopefully she beats Ditty in the quarters of Palm Desert and then she can get an SE into the main draw here I think ?
