Yes, I'd say they're decent draws. The only reason for drawing attention to the junior rankings was to make it clear they are unlikely to be completely one-sided matches, but it's not as if they were top 5 or top 10 juniors who are making Laura-like strides in seniors at the moment - they could have had much worse R1 draws.

L16: Naomi Broady WR 278 v (3) Paula Kania (POL) WR 214 (CH 207 last week)
H2H 1-0, Naomi thrashed Kania 2 & 0 in Grenoble at the start of this year, though their rankings have gone in opposite directions since ... and not in a good way.

I certainly get the impression that Brits have saved more than their fair share of match points over recent months. Though Andy has helped to redress the balance a bit the other way

Lisa got broken back and had to save 4 match points in game 12 ... but she did and then (from Naomi) "Great tiebreak by @lisawhybourn finished off with an ace. 1 set all..."
