Qualifying starts tomorrow with no British direct entrants. Just like last year the cut has collapsed somewhat allowing a few Brits in. Since none of the 8 Roehampton wildcards are in the draw, they have presumably all been given main draw WCs
QR1
(1) Hao Chen Tang (CHN) v (WC) Abbi Melrose
(2) Katharina Lehnert (GER) v Verena Jane Scott
(WC) Beth Askew v (15) Elizaveta Anna Nemchinov (USA)
Main draw is out with Fran in a section of the draw with no-one to fear if she repeats her Roehampton form until the quarter-finals (Caroline Garcia probably)
R1 (L64)
(Q) Beatriz Haddad Maia (BRA) v (WC) Laura Deigman (12) Ashleigh Barty (AUS) v (WC) Lucy Brown Gabrielle Faith Andrews (USA) v (Q) Ruth Seaborne Nao Hibino (JPN) v (WC) Katy Dunne Barbara Haas (AUT) v (WC) Jessica Ren (WC) Daneika Borthwick v Eri Hozumi (JPN) (6) Montserrat Gonzalez (PAR) v (WC) Katie Boulter (SE) Francesca Stephenson v Makoto Ninomiya (JPN) Stephanie Nauta (USA) v (WC) Pippa Horn
Oh good, I thought Fran's draw didn't look too bad when I saw it, but not following the juniors as closely as some (especially you), I assumed there was probably a big name in her 1/8th who had passed me by!
