De Gubernatis and Harkins are the top two seeds in Qualifying and they are both ranked below Naomi so I suspect she has been moved up to the main draw.
Broady starts with a win ! Thu 26th Nov 09 - 0:19 Naomi won her potentially tricky comeback match 6-1,7-6 at high altitude in Puebla Mexico this afternoon against the left hander Maria-Fernanda Alves of Brazil currently ranked 270 in the world. Tomorrow she will play Leonie Mekel of Holland. Naomi said she felt strong with no reaction to her hamstring.
That's a really impressive return, hopefully it'll help set her up for a big improvement in 2010. She's even going to end this year raked higher than she was 12 months ago, despite the long lay-off.
