Disappointingly Liam Broady (along with Andrew Bettles) is a late withdrawal here, thus weakening his chance of direct entry to the US Open. His current ranking of 64 has sometimes been good enough, but last year the cut was 55.

Fran gets another good win over a Japanese player ranked in the 50s - one which looked on the cards as Kowase has lost all her matches on European clay. Next up is the Russian who was part of the partnership defeated in the Berlin final. However Gasparyan is in very good form in singles, so any further progress for Fran would require a bigger upset. Another disappointing result for Jen though.
