A neutral to good draw for the Brits overall, I would say. A pity about Katy and Katie, but Amy and Carolin are probably thinking that for seeds, they have drawn the short straws! An interesting all-15-year-old pairing in the second match from the end too!

It looks like all the FQR results have been covered in the last few posts (and most were UNR v UNR, so writing out the results won't add much!)

I think Katie Boulter has a good shot against Carolin Daniels. Saw Carolin in Edinburgh in May she played Maia or Anna Brogan cannot remember which one now but she didnt blow them away.
I think the draw has been pretty decent for most of the girls. Nice to see 15yr old Jasmine qualify.
Lauren has a decent chance of picking up another point.
Hope Anna S can continue the form of last week and put a good run again this week.
Goergia v Rona will be interesting. I suspect Rona may well get through that game.
Katy Dunne must fancy her chances against Amy, especially as she retired injured recently
Katie B on top form could give Carolin a match (jetlag may be a factor though)
The battle of the 15yr olds will be interesting. Freya may well be jetlagged, so i think Maia may win that match.
