Amanda and Daneika down an early break against their seeded opponents (Amanda down 1-4* in fact)

Abi leads Charlotte 6-2 5-3 in the one match guaranteed to provide a British representative in the final qualifying other than Laura

Yes, and even if that's easy to say with hindsight, it surely wasn't entirely unforeseeable that with two 100-220K tournaments so close to each other that this might happen.

What's really frustrating is that with Nottingham qualifying sign in a day later than Birmingham qualifying sign-in and the two sites just over 50 miles away, the LTA could have suggested players turn up in Birmingham on the off-chance (I'm pretty sure they can hand out extra last-minute QWCs if there are actually empty spaces in the draw) - it's been pointed out by @gingertwit on twitter that if they have entered for Nottingham then pulled out to play Birmingham, they may get fined and/or lose points but I'm sure there were some players (e.g. those on the Q alt list for Nottingham) who could have played that system and benefited from it.

Laura is playing 1st on tomorrow 11am Ct 4

(Heather is playing same time in Brum, Centre Court - what a dilemma !!! On this occasion I'm choosing to go see Laura and trust that Heather will make an appearance later in the week )

Oops, I knew gingertwit = PaulM but thought you only posted on GBTG. BOTB-induced confusion! wink

Twitter wasn't really the place for an in-depth discussion about that - my guess is you were making very valid points but there would have been a way for at least some of the GB girls (maybe not the ones best placed to win matches, I agree) to take a chance of getting into Birmingham if there were places available with Nottingham as a fallback if they'd really wanted to plan for it. If they'd booked accommodation in Nottingham, they could even have commuted to Birmingham had they got in, it's close enough!

Totally agree. Was worth a risk in my view. But I guess they wanted the security of knowing they'd get in to a tourney in the event that both Brum and Notts filled (however unlikely that was).

Laura was average this morning but very good this afternoon. Probably better than last week.

Laura has just won 14 of the first 20 points against last year's junior Wimbledon champion to take a 3-0* lead

First set to Laura 6-3.

Pliskova not faring much better on Laura's serve than Box or Lewis yesterday

Abbi Melrose took an unlikely *4-3 lead against 3rd seed Zhang. It is now back on serve *4-5 and deuce, so she is in danger of dropping the 1st set, but it seems like a pretty good performance against a top 250 player.

Fightback from Pliskova, who is now serving for the 2nd set. Laura 6-3 3-5*

Abbi did indeed lose the 1st set 6-4 and is now 4-1* down in the 2nd.

Second set to Pliskova 6-3. Frustratingly, Laura has converted only 1 of 10 break points so far.
