That 'strong' woman from Brazil looks like causing us problems again:

 

R1:

Anna Smith (GBR) 709 v Carla Forte (BRA) (4) 539

Mel South (GBR) 669 v Melissa Sehovic (BIH) (LL) age 15 WR 1114  - if Mel wins this match, she plays Carla (above)

Jessica Simpson (GBR) 937 v Diana Bogoliy (UKR) 1044 (CH 886)

Your faith in Anna's ability to pull off the upset is touching wink

(no doubt you didn't quite mean it that way! )

Hopefully Anna can pull off the win.

I'm rather surprised her movement up the rankings has so stalled over the last few months and thus we talk of a win here being an "upset".

Does anyone know if she still has / has again injury issues ?

Good to see Anna get a win that would have looked pretty routine a couple of years ago.

Now which of Mel and Anna can give most glimpses of their past ?

I humbly, groveling, beg Anna's forgiveness for my lack of faith above (which wasn't really deliberate !)

Well done to her!

And good luck to both her and Mel for tomorrow.

In the doubles, though, Mel had the upper hand today, and Jess got squeezed out too:

R1: Emma LAINE (FIN) / Melanie SOUTH (GBR) [2] def. Jocelyn RAE (GBR) / Anna SMITH (GBR) 6-4 6-3
Leah DAW (AUS) / Nozomi FUJIOKA (JPN) def. Jessica SIMPSON (GBR) / Yukun ZHANG (CHN) 5-7 6-4 [10-7]

QF: Emma LAINE (FIN) / Melanie SOUTH (GBR) [2] v Olena KYRPOT (UKR) / Anastasia MUKHAMETOVA (RUS)

 I am rooting for Anna i think she has more of a future as a singles player than Mel.
