I knew it! I said earlier to my friend that she'll get either her best mate Bouchard or the top seed. Turns out she might get both!

At least given the ridiculous quality of the field for a 50k, she has a favourites chance to progress, before obviously it gets alot lot tougher.

Ranked 340, and another junior. Hope she gets past this one and gets to play the top seed.

The winner does play Hradecka, after the Czech girl made a meal out of beating Czink, when it looked she would cruise to an easy straight sets victory.
Laura is first up tomorrow at 3pm GMT but it isn't on the Bet365 court so there will be an anxious wait for the result.

Tennis Canada have just RT'd soneone at Bouchard's management company Lagardère: "Congrats on your win today @geniebouchard over Robson...so happy you are healthy!"

Yep I just saw that, it was Bouchard's agent who congratulated her.

Well it was always going to be a tricky match against her best buddy, but still disappointing. Did seem a little bit strange to be playing this tournament in the first place and maybe wasn't prepared enough for her first match on clay.

And then I see Luke Bambridge sticking the knife in a little by congratulating Bouchard on twitter.

Yes, that plus Bouchard (just a few weeks younger than Laura) is clearly a very good prospect. I did think Laura would have too much for her today though.

Banter of the week? (aka anything to make this thread a bit less depressing)

In case you aren't following both Oli and Luke on Twitter, this exchange between them gave me a couple of laughs (first for the hashtag, then the pic):

Soon after I tweeted, Luke tweets: "Great result today @geniebouchard #BigFight"

Oli tells him off: "@LukeBambridge40 that was a pretty patriotic last tweet mate! #britsb4chicks"

Luke counters with: "@oli_golding OH I'm not patriotic now? yfrog.com/h2tr6wlj"

Is that Laura's first ever loss to someone younger than her then?

 Definitely in seniors, maybe in juniors as well? A disappointing loss after Laura has shown improved form in the last couple of tournaments.

 

Having now got over her injuries, she needs to step up her consistency in the upcoming tournaments.

For completeness score was 6-3 6-7(6) 6-4. So a long match judging from the scoreline, clearly Laura wouldn't have wanted to lose that one.

Next tournament Copenhagen indoors in a couple of weeks time, then FedCup.
