Robyn appears to have qualified for the main draw!
"CopaFVT | La venezolana Jemileth Aguilar no pudo ante la británica Robyn Beddow (5/7, 3/6) en la 1º del qualy"
... or in other words (the Venezuelan tennis federation tweeter is wrong about the round, they played QR1 today but also the FQR matches like Robyn's between players who both had QR1 byes) ...
R1: BEDDOW, Robyn Q 1098 v PODORSKA, Nadia (ARG) 622 R1: CARRERAS, Amanda 5 314 v CARDENAS, María Andrea (VEN) WC 1143
The winner of Amanda's match will play an unranked Venezuelan in R2. The other seed in Amanda's quarter is none other than Fed Cup heartbreaker María Irigoyen.

Hey, at least at 15:00 it was just drizzle. I tend to think rain indications more point to it being very likely that there will be some rain than to the length of it. And in many foreign parts that can be much more of the short, sharp variety than we are used to like err continuous drizzle, ah - think I may be waffling.
Two matches were completed in the end and one of them was Amanda's, whose R1 and R2 opponents have just lost their rankings as points from a 10K here in mid-April last year came off:
R1: BEDDOW, Robyn Q 1098 v PODOROSKA, Nadia (ARG) 626 (CH 594 last Nov, current junior no. 190) - 9 am local = 14.30 BST on Wednesday R1: CARRERAS, Amanda 5 313 beat CARDENAS, María Andrea (VEN) UNR (CH 1036 two weeks ago) by 1 & 1
R2: CARRERAS, Amanda 5 313 v BLANCO, Carmen (VEN) UNR (CH 901 two weeks ago, current junior no. 139)
