I'm still waiting to see the singles MD here, but in the doubles Emily App is playing with Carolina Meligeni Rodrigues ALVES (BRA). Emily has had Brazilian partners before but cannot remember if Carolina is someone she has played with before. They play the Morderger sisters first up.

Tiff is the second seed this week but her first round draw is NOT a good one, since Sada Nahimana was last week's losing finalist. Nahimana also has an interesting back story, coming from Burundi, a still very conflict ridden country. But she was part of a small group of players there who was initially e...

Anna Popescue was 2nd alt on the entry list and is playing with Miranda Poile (AUS) in the doubles, against the 3rd seeds first up, so assume she will appear in the singles MD too when it appears. Anna is another who will regain her ranking in two weeks time when the transition points are merged.
