And Sarah is in the doubles with an old friend:

DEKMEIJERE/RODINA vs ROLLE/WASHINGTON
LUMPKIN/TWEEDIE-YATES vs [2]BORWELL/NAGLE

Chance for revenge for Heather, and Coco is not in the best of form so chance for further progress after that.
Very tough for Katie against a youngish American opponent who's had a brilliant last 12 months.
Straightforward first round draw for Anne and then it gets alot tougher.

Nagle is back from her ban? How long was it?

philwrig · Hall of fame

She was back towards the end of last year, not sure how long it was.

PaulM · Tennis legend

I think she got the minimum and it was held it was 100% inadvertant, but even so you have to be banned as as a pro you should be extra vigilent with every supplement/treatment you take. I think courtneys was something she took for an onjury. Read the judgement at the time but can't remember now.

I think it was 2years backdated to date of the positive sample.

Courtney's case judgment can be read at http://www.itftennis.com/shared/medialibrary/pdf/original/IO_40207_original.PDF

It was 16 months backdated - reduced from the minimum 2 years for reasons along the lines Paul suggests. Courtney played a full schedule last year - mainly with Christina Fusano

On current form Katie's result to be expected.

It's just not happening for Katie of late. Both her and Mel seem to have really slipped back in their games and suddenly the top 100 seems a long way off again. Fantastic that both girls made the top 100 but on current form the chances of getting back there again are very slim.
