I think maybe she is going to play a lucky loser - qualifying has already finished and the slot next to Jessica is the only empty one in the draw (at least, it is now), so maybe the lucky loser will be determined only when they see who signs in tomorrow morning.

This is bizarre - the drawsheets do now confirm that Jessica is due to play a lucky loser but neither the ITF drawsheet nor the Tennis Europe drawsheet show who the LL is yet and the OoP on the ATP site (it's a combined event with the men's 10K) shows Jessica on the schedule for tomorrow against ... "lucky loser". The same is true of the men's event, where there are two lucky loser places but neither have been filled in yet.

and Jess managed to lose in two close sets 7-5 7-6(1)

Poor Jess. But I did think that she sounded as though she'd had enough and her mind was back at the homestead and on other things:
