Good to see Jade and Lucy win convinvcingly!

Is Lucy based down under? She seems to have all her points from there...

Hopefully both can qualify again!

Good show from Jade. A winnable match in the first round.

Excellent win for Jade We know she's a lot better than her current ranking of 1200ish, her current playing strength is probably in the 800s.

It's a shame about Madelaine and Lucy. Madelaine has been totally outclassed by two lower ranked opponents for the last two weeks which is a little worrying. Having said that Ashlee Brown did qualify last week. Lucy's conqueror also beat Madelaine 2 and 1 last week in the final qualies round.

I don't know whether Lucy is based down under, I would think that's unlikely, haven't heard of that happening before

That's a winnable match for Jade, 20 year old Chan lost in Wellington qualies last week. She qualified for the Melbourne 25K and beat Madelaine Brooks 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in rd1 before getting outplayed in rd2. She didn't do much in 2006 apart from qualifying for several 10Ks in Asia. Lost 6-2, 6-4 to Karen Paterson at the end of the year.

Hopefully Anna can take full advantage of her seeding this time, next up for her are some tough 25K qualies in Australia so she could do with getting some points here and taking advantage of the weakish draw. Her 18 year old opponent is a clay-court specialist and has played just 1 match in 2007, losing in rd1 of Wellington last week. She didn't play many tournaments in 2007 but had a fair bit of success, reaching a final, a semi and two quarters in Asian 10Ks. Natasha Khan beat her 6-4, 6-3 last April.

He was born in Australia and his parents still live in Sydney.

I don't think the same is true for Lucy but not 100% certain.

Anna Smith bt Brycki 6-7(1) 6-4 6-4

QF opponent is 3rd seed Shan-Shan Song of China.

Song is ranked 451 and has progreesed fairly easily to the QF's despite a second set blip in her first round match with a qualifier.

Hopefully she can pull out another blip and SMith will beat her!
