Q1: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 167 v PUTINTSEVA, Yulia (KAZ) 7 96 4-6 6-1 7-5

Q2: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 167 v FORETZ-GACON, Stephanie (FRA) 120

They have played twice before with Johanna winning on hard and Stephanie on clay.

 

Edit:  Sorry, Peter, just had to correct the spelling of Stéphanie's husband's surname.

Just checked - this was indeed Jo's 5th top 100 scalp ('controversially' counting WR 100 as top 100 LOL) and her first top 100 scalp on clay.

Sep 2011 - Shrewsbury 75K R1 - beat Dolonc WR 100
Apr 2012 - Copenhagen WTA R1 - beat Pervak WR 38
Aug 2012 - US Open R1 - beat Babos WR 59
Jan 2013 - Brisbane WTA Q - beat Torro-Flor WR 98
Apr 2013 - Oeiras WTA Q - beat Putintseva WR 96

Edit: Just checked that Putintseva will still be top 100 on Monday (since that's the ranking she'll be shown with on the WTA activity list, which is what we use when checking historically for career best wins, etc) and she will - indeed, TBE has her up at WR 88.

Laura plays Ayumi Morita with the winner up against Cibulkova/U Radwanska

Laura has drawn Ayumi Morita in R1. They met once before, In R1 at the US Open in 2011, when Morita retired with Laura leading 7-5 1-0 but putting up a far from convincing display, if I remember right.

There were a lot of ball tosses in that match; quite possibly the most per successful serve I've ever seen
