Lots of rain here over the last few days by the looks of it - last week's finals are scheduled for today and there are 10 courts scheduled to be in use today (with 5-7 matches scheduled per court) as they try to get the first wo rounds of this week's qualies completed.

It looks like qualifying may finally get finished today, but Robyn didn't hang about by the looks of it - she has been replaced by a lucky loser in the singles draw on ITF though she still shows up in the doubles draw there.

If you think Robyn sometimes gets lucky with her draws, this is how her doubles partner reached the singles semis at the Fort-de-France 10K in Martinique earlier this year:
R1: Thrashed a WC from Martinique (who had not played on the circuit before and has not done so since) 1 & 1 R2: Walkover QF: Retirement (though to be fair, she was 6-1 4-2 up)
Then in the SF, she got double-bagelled.
So, a perfect pair really and they did manage 4 games in their R1 match last week.
