Katie has drawn a qualifier in the main draw.

Courtney Nagle is in the doubles draw without Sarah; she partners Julie Ditty as the top seeds. Sarah & Courtney should have gone for WTA Thailand or Paris this week, Thailand has only 12 pairs and the Paris cut-off is in the 600's.

This looks like one of the strongest $75k's for a while with the top 2 seeds being inside 100. Emily has a chance of a LL as Julia Boserup pulled out, fingers crossed!

Unfortunately Emily lost in the round before the FQR, so she would need at least 5 dropouts to get a LL place.

Katie now plays Pastikova in the first round, hopefully she can get some revenge for Emily.

Pretty decent draw really.

She won 6-0 6-2.

L16: Katie O'Brien WR 160 v Chanelle Scheepers (RSA) WR 158

Scheepers beat Katie 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in qualifying for Canada WTA Tier 1 last July.

JT · Junior player

Katie looks as though she's been playing well this year so hopefully the form will continue and she can pick up some big points this week.

Anyone know what she's got coming up next?

Scheepers

seagull · Hall of fame

Think she is playing Memphis qualifying next week but unfortunately WTA lists are top secret!

djlovesyou · Strong Club Player

She's playing the 50k in Germany the week after Memphis.

The WTA have to keep them secret otherwise the fans might be tempted to go along and watch their favourite players. hmm

Scores for this event seem remarkably difficult to come by, but it seems that Katie won again as she's on the OOP for tomorrow on the USTA website. Excellent news.
