Week 38: WTA Slovenia Open - Tier 4
Permalink  

Katie is third seed in qualies. Her first opponent was I recall a top 20 junior several years ago but has not progressed much since then. Unlike Kolkata there are 3 rounds of qualifying:

(3) O'BRIEN, Katie GBR v GERARDS, Michelle NED
SCHAUL, Claudine LUX v VAJDOVA, Nikola SVK
VRLJIC, Ana CRO v DOZ, Gianna CRO
KACHLIKOVA, Katarina SVK v (7) LISJAK, Ivana CRO

Clay I think

Live scores not working for qualies but Katie started at 10.30 am so should be finished soon. Tourney website is: http://www.sloveniaopen.si/index.php?page=rezultati&item=8

Gerards is ranked 326, career best of 207. Has made five 10K finals this year but still shouldn't trouble Katie

If Katie wins, next up later today would be Luxembourg's Claudine Schaul. Schaul is ranked 538 but was WTA top 50 in 2004 (got to no 41) and also made top 75 doubles. She made her comeback in June but has struggled for wins.

O'Brien def Gerards 75 63

Katie's drought comes to an end.

Phew, thank goodness for that ! Schaul will be a little tougher but looking at her record since June, Katie should still come through in straights

The tournament is an outdoor hardcourt. According to the website Vajdova beat Schaul 75 62 26. I assume they just transposed the last 2 sets, but neither player should prove too difficult for Katie.

Yeah it was actaully 18 year old Vajdova who won...she's ranked down in 500s so Katie should win

Match is tomorrow...I think there has been rain

Most WTA qualies operate on 1 match per day unless there is rain or players arrive late from another tournament. Katie is second on court 1, with play starting at 10 am our time, but I don't know whether there will be any live scores.
