The warm-up tournaments haven't been particularly encouraging in singles for our 4 representatives, so the best hope for a long run is in doubles. The girls event is headed by the top 4 players in the world rankings.

(15) Harriet Dart (GBR) v Rebecca Peterson (SWE)
Pete was the first match on today, so your source must have updated very quickly. An impressive win for him given that clay is not his best surface, and a decent chance of further progress. The girls suffered defeats as expected, and there were losses for both doubles teams.
