Cass gets the top seed for the second week in a row.

The only British seed to lose today was Ruth Seaborne, at the hands of Katy Dunne, who thus registers her first ITF points.

.....Very interesting Katy Dunne winning 2-6 7-6(10) 6-2 Her dubious reward is a match against a player with one of the longest names in women's tennis, who beat Alex in Tunisia earlier in the year. Hannah Martin-Merchant continued her miserable form, losing surprisingly to wildcard Emily Crowe, whilst Jo Henderson won the big clash against Daneika Borthwick surprisingly easily (6-0 6-3). Unfortunately for Jo she is up next against arguably the star player here, an American whose scalps include top tenner Kristina Mladenovic at the Yucutan Cup (won by Heather Watson) last year.
