Very windy today at Flushing with an outside chance of a shower. Friday forecast diabolical. Who will windy conditions suit ? Heather played well in somewhat less windy conditions yesterday and is based in Florida which is often windy so she should be alright. Laura on the other hand is more of a worry. Her opponent Hendler has also trained alot in Florida and should therefore be more at home in these conditions. Added to that Laura hits the ball flat with her serve and her groundies with little margin for error. Also her sometimes poor foot movement might be exposed more in these conditions.
Laura wraps up a comfortable 6-2 6-1 win and will play either US Under 16 champion Lauren Davis (who put out Timea Babos) or Elena Bogdan, who have split sets. Heather is on next
