It's an excellent series of results in tough conditions, it's been raining non-stop over there for the past few days and so they've had to practise indoors but play took place outside today and it was really windy.
Mel and Katie's rd2 opponents are unknown at the moment but Natasha will face Aussie 2nd seed Casey Dell'Acqua, who's ranked 121 and will be the highest ranked opponent Natasha has faced to date, so it'll be an excellent experience for her. Dell'Acqua has reached four 25K finals this year !
I'm so pleased for Mel, she must feel so good to end that 5 match losing streak which went back to Feb. Hopefully with that off her back she can get back to her best...should be able to make the quarters here.
Katie's really unlucky to get Chan again in her quarter However, at least it looks like she will make quarters which is the big thing this week with those pts to defend

Yeah potentially two back to back 50K QFs is rather good. She wasn't completely outclassed by Chan last week so maybe she can push her harder this week? Here's hoping she can spring a surprise and cement her place as GB no 1
O'Brien bt E.Sema 6-0 4-6 7-6(8) Mel won 6-4 7-5 Khan lost Dell'Acqua 6-3 6-4.
Mel slowly getting back to form, may she worried about the grass court because she knows shes got points to defend at Wimbledon! Kahn put in a respectable performance Mel plays Khan's conquerer in the QF, while O'Brien plays Chan, but not sure about because i think Chan might have pulled out
However, at least it looks like she will make quarters which is the big thing this week with those pts to defend
