if that was the case, then she probably would have played 2 matches today, meaning that the 1st rd should have been completed by now.

Well done Bally!! Sad for Borwell, i hope her back is not playing up again As for Natasha, she should be pleased that gave her a good account of herself against a good player!

Great win for Bally Though tbh she was never going to be troubled by a Thai porn star

I think if you had offered Bally 2 SF and a QF three weeks ago she'd have taken them with a big smile.

She's had to do qualies for them all, and only relied on one bit of luck (the LL spot last week).

Her workload has been fantastic, and she'll come away with a 16-4 or better record, well back in the top 500, with a gain of at least 33 ranking points from the three weeks.

Here's hoping for continued form in what is a hard QF.

Doubles R1

KIM (KOR) / LEE (KOR) defeated BARTENSTEIN (AUT) / KHAN (GBR) 62 62

Q KULIKOVA, Regina (RUS) beat Q BALTACHA, Elena (GB) by walkover.

... hope theres nothing too wrong there,, would be very disappointing if she picked up an injury after doing so well over the last few weeks!
