Elena Baltacha has been awarded a Wildcard into the Brussels tournament, so hoping she can do well here now!!

Elena is on court, you can hear her in the background on the live camera from the (empty) Central Court.
Annoyingly though her match stubbornly refuses to appear on live scores

The match is there, it's just hiding - you need to change the date at the top of the ITF livescore page to yesterday. Currently 4-6 *3-4

Bally was broken in a long game for 3-5, but broke straight back and has now levelled it at 5-5

Bally loses 4-6 6-7(4). Good progress this week I feel.

R2: BALTACHA, Elena (GBR) Q 206 lost to PEREIRA, Teliana (BRA) 5 128 4-6 6-7(4)

That seems a pretty good performance though. Pereira plays 90% of her matches on red clay, and has made a CH of 116 this year by doing so.
With that in mind, Bally kept it very competitive throughout on her least practised surface.

Good effort from Bally this week, important to get her first few wins since her comeback. Respectable score in the R2 match as well.

Agreed, good to see Elena winning quite a few matches this week and can use this as a building block to start pushing the ranking back to where it should be - top 100
