Just as last week Emily S is the one to miss out in round 1. There are a lot of young players in this draw who have done well in Tennis Europe events in the last couple of years, so it won't be easy to progress far. However Gabi and Emily A appear to have winnable round 2 matches. Jasmine plays last week's winner
R1 (L32)
(6) Gabriella Taylor (GBR) d. (Q) Angelika Shapovalova (RUS) 7-6(4) 6-3
Jasmine Amber Asghar (GBR) d. (WC) Maria Stylianou (CYP) 6-2 6-0
Gyulnara Nazarova (UKR) d. Emily Smith (GBR) 6-4 7-5
(Q) Emily Arbuthnott (GBR) d. (Q) Anna Pribylova (RUS) 6-1 6-2
R2
Vera Aleshcheva (RUS) v (6) Gabriella Taylor (GBR)
Anastasia Pribylova (RUS) v Jasmine Amber Asghar (GBR)
(8) Anna Iakovleva (RUS) v (Q) Emily Arbuthnott (GBR)
Super win for Jasmine over an in-form player to go with 2 expected wins for Gabi and Emily. Next up for her is last week's beaten finalist. Emily faces one of many highly rated young Russians
R2
(6) Gabriella Taylor (GBR) d. Vera Aleshcheva (RUS) 6-0 6-1
Jasmine Amber Asghar (GBR) d. Anastasia Pribylova (RUS) 6-3 1-6 6-3
(Q) Emily Arbuthnott (GBR) d. (8) Anna Iakovleva (RUS) 6-1 6-0
QF
Katarzyna Pyka (POL) v (6) Gabriella Taylor (GBR)
Jasmine Amber Asghar (GBR) v Emilie Francati (DEN)
(Q) Emily Arbuthnott (GBR) v (2) Anna Kalinskaya (RUS)
Jasmine on fire coming through a loaded quarter. Gabi's section looked to be more promising, but the bottom half was always likely to be strong, and whoever wins out of Kuzmova and Kalinskaya will provide tough opposition - between them they have made 9 finals in the last year.
