Certainly was - for a change ! Katie will face the Italian second seed, Romina Oprandi, in the second round, while Anne takes on Kai-Chen Chang (TPE), who dumped out the Chinese top seed by 0 & 3 earlier! A chance for Anne? The only seeds left are Oprandi, Tamira Paszek (3), Melanie Oudin (4) & Coco Vandeweghe (5)! disbelief

I think Anne plays Foretz Gacon, like I said earlier ("In R2, Anne will play Hev's RG R1 victim Stephanie Foretz Gacon (FRA) WR 133 (CH 62 in 2003) - they have met once before, on clay in St Malo in 2008, Foretz winning 4 & 6") - she is in the bottom half of Chang's quarter - or was the last time I looked.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

BROADY (GBR) / WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) vs BORWELL (GBR) / SOUTH (GBR) has just started.

B*gger! I was hoping I'd get a chance to correct that gaffe before anyone noticed! ashamed You're quite right, of course, Steven. Dunno why, but my eyes seem to keep being drawn to the wrong line when I'm looking at match-ups for following rounds, especially with the combi draw sheets the bloody LTA insists on using for women's "Challenger" events instead of individual ones. Well, that's my excuse, anyway... wink

Mel & Sarah win the all-British battle 6-3 6-4

Jos & Heather went down an early break, then went up a break (5-3) but were pegged back to 5-5

PaulM · Tennis legend

Mel and Sarah should be a great team. Possible match-up with Rocky in the quarters.

Joss and Hev had a deuce point at *5-3

DavidC · Tennis legend

Jos & Heather take the first set 7-5 (against Black & Rodionova)

Hope you're right - Mel may need to go down the route of doubles specialist before long, unless she turns things round in singles quickly

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

It's the less difficult Rodionova sister but it's still impressive, and they have just broken to go 2-0 in the 2nd set.

DavidC · Tennis legend

The second seeds broke straight back and had 2 points for another break, which were saved

Jos/Heather 7-5 3-2*

Laura/Anne lost 7-6(3) 6-2, so not a good day for Laura

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

I wonder why Date-Krumm is playing doubles but not singles?

Maza1987 · Challenger level

omg, keep it hev and joss.
theyre playing a top dubs team here.
