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...
Second test starts in the middle of the night - best chance for England given it is a day/night match in cool conditions England's seamers should benefit - let's hope the batters can finally get some big runs.
Top-100 junior, Blu Baker, is top seed in Mexico, G3, as his warm-up for the US Open. Plenty of other British action this week too: Ukraine, G3: R1:William NOLAN (GBR) 7-5 6-0 Artem PODOROZHNYI (UKR)Felix GILL (GBR) [1] 6-0 6-0 Mkasym PANCHENKO (UKR)Derrick CHEN (GBR) [8] ...
Here are the QR1 draws, as originally indicated by Andy. I've left out any H2Hs for the time being. They are mostly favourable, few complaints here... QR1: Heather WATSON (GBR) [q8] 110 vs Mariam BOLKVADZE (GEO) 201=CHQR1: Naiktha BAINS (GBR) 235 vs Jana CEPELOVA (SVK) 158 (CH:50 May 14)QR1: Harrie...
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...

It looks as though Billy Harris has made the main draw alongside Ryan Peniston: the QR1 OoP is out & the q1 was two places below him in the acceptance list.

Sam has arrived in China following her victory at Chiswick. She is not seeded, which I'm surprised at since she was 8th on the acceptance list, but she has a qualifier first up, so won't complain. R32: Samantha MURRAY (GBR) 303 vs QUALIFIER
