Bollettieri student Natalie Beazant is our only girl here for the Banana Bowl and the Grade A Copa Gerdau. Paul Brown was on the entry list for the Boys, but wasn't in the qualifying tournament. Unfortunately Natalie has a very tough draw against the world number 30.
R1 (L64)
(4,Q) Valeria Solovieva (RUS) v Natalie Beazant (GBR)
(4,Q) Valeria Solovieva (RUS) d. Natalie Beazant (GBR) 6-2 6-2
In doubles Natalie pairs up with a 14 year-old Chinese girl, but if they win their opening match today they will have to face the number 1 seeds Mladenovic/Njiric
