This week, Jodie is scheduled to return, and potentially the top seed, with Maia 2nd, and Freya, Lissey and Tiff all also in...

The same three - Emilie, Ola and Kasia - should be in the MD, but this week they've been joined by Eliz Maloney, who is in qualifying. Just the one round to negotiate, and as long as she has acclimatised she should fancy her chances. FQR: Eliz MALONEY (GBR) [q3] UNR/960 Born 2000 (JCH:122 April 17) vs Nif...

Emily Arb in qualifying here, and Mandy C should be a high seed in the MD. Not a good q draw for Emily though as she will likely play Cemre Anil (TUR) [q1] WR 878 in the FQR. Q2 is WR1037, so some way the worst draw she could have, but she should still have a good chance to qualify. Anil won't like seeing her in he...

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.
