Amanda Elliott continues to try to qualify for strong clay court challengers. Her opening opponent has had some success in similar qualifying tournaments, and reached the quarter-final of a main draw $100K event, so should provide strong opposition. Her match is second on court 2 (the first starts at 9am BST) with live scoring possibly available via the host website (http://www.itfmestre.com/)
