Play was rained off again today so there is a very extensive order of play tomorrow. Fortunately, the weather forecast for the rest of the week is better.

Laura, finally, is getting to play her first round match.

Currently, 2-3* down but, with 5 games played, and 5 breaks of serve, that's maybe not an issue . ..

With less funding for the juniors, these players will be more likely to play on the main tour and earn some money rather than play juniors. The biggest hinderance for a lot of the girls is the cost of playing full time on tour.

Expect to see Freya, Jasmine, Izzy, Katie, Harriet and a few others climb quite quickly up the rankings like Katy has.
