She certainly has. What are her chances for US open qualies?

None - Amanda would have needed to be in the top 250ish by July 14.

Good to see her winning a 3 setter, as she has been on the wrong end of a few in the last 2 months. Her opponent was better than her ranking might suggest, having lost recently 7-5 in the third and 7-6 in the third to 2 top 100 players on clay.

Flipkens is a tough proposition, having won a strong 75K event on clay recently, and is moving rapidly back towards the top 100.

They play tomorrow evening not before 21.00 (20.00 BST)

Either I was seeing things or else the scoreboard was stuck for a while. Scoreboard jumps to 3*-4.

Scoreboard has gone mad. Suddenly it shows Flipkens serving for the match.

Meh, I don't trust it and will wait for the result.

The ITF site confirms that Amanda lost 6-0 6-3

Disappointing scoreline but a strong opponent who appears to be returning to her best form after being dogged by injury.
