4 ... otherwise the 2 and 8 seeds wouldn't be in the same section.

I'm sure when I looked yesterday, the drawsheet showed 8 qualifiers, hence the question. Now the drawsheet shows 4.

Or maybe the late nights are affecting me. confuse

Generally speaking 50ks have 4 qualifying spots whilst 25ks have 8.

Awww... I was hoping for Laura having a Cako-walk... Oh. No. I. Didn't.

Just hope Laura catches her prey.

I'm not on form. I'm never on form. *sadface*

Not playing until 11pm BST so don't expect any early result.
The girl that Falcon beat is ranked inside the top 500 and she beat her 1 and 0 so tomorrows match no cakewalk given Laura's current form on the green stuff.

It's actually on at midnight BST, Alabama is in the central zone. I've been digging around for info on Falcon and it seems like she was a decent player back in 2005, when she made it into the top 350 aged 19. She was then a bit of a star at LSU (wasn't that the Skupster's uni?), only playing a handful of tournaments per year in 2006 and 2007 then disappearing completely (someone on TF thinks she may have lost her parents, though I can't find anything else about that) and she seems to now be trying to make a comeback aged 24. She hasn't had much success so far but her scoreline today was very impressive.

Yep central time stateside so midnight ours. The United States must determine the time zone based upon the state the town/city is in and not its longitude. As Dothan is east of Indianapolis you might have thought they would be in the same time zone.

Mostly they do, in some places it goes down to county level. About 11 states are split between two time zones according to a map I just found.

Decent first round draw for Heather against completely out of sorts veteran Lee-Waters.
If Laura does qualify 3 out of 4 quali spots very good but the other one against Gallovits arguably the favourite for the title.
Heather and Laura again team up for the doubles.

 Is that a pun using the Brit's name?  Surely that's against the rules.
