Our 1993 girls have struggled to make an impact this year - here is a chance for three of them to buck the trend, though the field here, and in Brazil (next two weeks) is strong.
R1 (L64)
Elisha Gabb (GBR) v (WC) Isaura Enrique Aguilar (PAR) Lucia Butkovska (SVK) v Daneika Borthwick (GBR) Lucy Brown (GBR) v Anna Karolina Schmiedlova (SVK)
A good win for Daneika against a higher ranked opponent, and she has been rewarded with a crack at one of the weakest seeds on this surface. Elisha plays a low seed, but one who won back-to-back Grade 2 titles in South America last year to reach the top 20, before struggling to make an impact on the Pro Circuit.
