All the GB women have managed to avoid each other first round this week. BUT they are all in the top half of the draw and will potentially meet in all the next rounds. 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...

Not wholly clear what is happening here this week. On the acceptance list Amelia Stuart, Emma Raducanu and Emile Lind Gallagher should all have been in the qualifying draw. In the end though in a rather abbreviated draw, it is only Emma that appears, and she will have to win just one match to get into the...

Emily is the top seed in qualifying here, so has just missed out on the main draw. However, her path to the MD looks relatively smooth. She will have to play two matches but none of her potential opponents are ranked. QR1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) [q1] 585 vs BYE

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...
