I noticed Kan had got through by retirement against the 6th seed today and thought that might be a bit of luck for Amanda, but then I realised the Russian is WR 304 at just 17 and thrashed Amanda 2 & 1 in Sevilla back in the autumn of 2011 ...

A good choice by the girls though to go to Morocco - 8 points will do nicely (more if possible, of course . . . ). Amanda (Mandy?) will break into the top 300 for the first time, won't she ?
oops - just noticed that she has 12 points to come off in two weeks time, after RG, when the 8 go on ?

WilliamDalton8 (on Twitter, though I think he reads this forum too) has outdone me by finding the correct site for this tournament and hence a drawsheet that is quicker to update. Sadly. it's not good news:
L16: Jade Windley WR 393 lost to Elitsa Kostova(3) (BUL) 261 (CH=141,Nov 2011) by 2 & 2 L16: Amanda Carreras WR 308 lost to Victoria Kan (RUS) 304 =CH by 3 & 1

In reality it wasn't a suprise that both lost the singles - Mandy was playing an up and coming youngster who is flying up the rankings and Jade drew one of the top seeds.
