R1

Bally plays KUTUZOVA, Viktoria (UKR), who beat Anne a couple of weeks back, and has been in strong form at this level for two months.

Katie O'B plays PERVAK, Ksenia (RUS) SE, a 17 year old who has also been on very good form fot the last couple of months.

Tough draws for both.

(3)Dzehalevich/Fedak (BLR/UKR) d. Hawkins/Larsson (GBR/SWE) 61 46 10-4

Katie and Bally are on early tomorrow, but there is no live scoring. Hard to assess. Some of Katie's best performances this year have been against talented in-form teenagers like Wickmayer and Martic, but her current form doesn't inspire confidence. Bally gets streaks of wins and losses, almost regardless of the strength of opposition, and it is time she found another winning spree.

It's expected though is it not.

Losses to the third and fourth seed when they were unseeded, one in a final set tiebreak.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it!

That's 3 weeks in a row that Bally has lost tight matches to higher-ranked players. She was only able to convert 1 of 7 breakpoints in the final set (Foretz 1/2). She may not be far off another winning streak. Katie was well beaten judging by the stats.

If it's any comfort for Katie, Georges dismissed Fedak with an even more one-sided scoreline, seems the German is on form this week.
