Horrible match up for Naomi. Oprandi will eat her for breakfast.

Good draw for Johanna, hopefully back to winning ways

First set to Johanna 6-1

Second set the same 6-1

R1: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 220 defeated ELBABA, Julia (USA) WC 834 6-1 6-1

A routine win, as expected. Next, she'll likely play Erika Sema [7] (JPN) 129 - the girl that Johanna beat in Lexington in that almost 4 hour epic. HOpefully she can beat the odds again.


Can't see the result of Em's Qualie yet though she was on a match before JK.

Naomi on court in about 10 minutes with a real test.

As expected, Oprandi breezes through the first set against Naomi. 2-6

And the second, 1-6. Oprandi did indeed "have Naomi for breakfast".

R1: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 224 lost to OPRANDI, Romina (SUI) 1 58 2-6 1-6

 

Naomi/EWS doubles is much later in the day - Johanna's next singles is not until Thursday.

EWS tweeted to say she is through to the main draw and will play Hsu.

Pretty poor loss in the doubles too for EWS and Naomi.

Naomi BROADY (GBR) / Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) 521 lost to Macall HARKINS (USA) / Zoe Gwen SCANDALIS (USA) 1443 4-6 1-6

EWS MD R1 match is today along with Johanna's doubles match. JK R2 singles is tomorrow.

Good win for Em in singles. Would like to see her get a MD win for some bigger points.

Keep going Johanna

Em lost her round 1 MD in a close match

R1: WEBLEY-SMITH, Emily (GBR) Q 407 lost to HSU, Chieh-Yu (USA) 351 2-6 6-3 5-7


Johanna lost her doubles, slightly disappointingly having taken the first set:

Johanna KONTA (GBR) / Chieh-Yu HSU (USA) 583 lost to Eri HOZUMI (JPN) / Miki MIYAMURA (JPN) 958 6-2 4-6 [3-10]


So, all that's left from 3 singles and two doubles is Johannas R2 singles tomorrow against the girl she beat in R1 in Lexington:

R2: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 220 vs. Erika SEMA (JPN) [7] 129

An excellent straight sets win for Johanna.

R2: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 220 beat Erika SEMA (JPN) [7] 129 6-2 6-4


It is Scholl in the next round. Chi Chi is coming off a good performance in Vancouver 100K last week where she made the semi.

They played on Hard in 2009 in Belgium, with Scholl winning the 3rd set breaker. Time to level the H2H then! I think a win will see JK break the Top 200 for the first time. 

QF: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 220 vs. Chi Chi SCHOLL (USA) 191

JoKo won according to her last message on twitter, no idea of the score.

Amazing, well done JoKo.

Most likely Scholl in the QF, decent chance there I should think!

Much better scoreline, congrats Johanna.

I think this match is close, Scholl in good form but so is JoKo. Could be an exciting stretch if Johanna can maintain this level going into the USO qualies.

 I guess Johanna lost from her tweet:

Not fit enough for my match today.. Get healthy and be ready for the US Open next.

Update: Oh! Not exactly, she retired after the first set.

QF: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 220 lost to Chi Chi SCHOLL (USA) 191 3-6 Retired

Sad but hopefully just a precaution so she's fully fit for US open. With a decent draw i think she can qualify
