Naomi likely to face number 7 seed Seiko Okamoto WR 211 in second round.

Naomi and Elena could face off in final QR.

I think Naomi and Bally have the best chance of qualifying. Mel should win her 1st match but beyond that its will be tough.

I'm hoping Bally and Naomi face off but this is one of the toughest ITF's of the year.

Mel won 6-4 6-4

Poster on WTAworld says she thinks Bally won but can't be certain

No news on Naomi yet

Mel and Elena both lost in straights.

Mel 6-2 7-6

Elena 6-2 6-4

Need Naomi to keep it going for us. Her match is probably finished by now but no result yet

Bad day :(
