So, Isabelle will get a ranking at the end of this ? Now three points from three wild-cards? (more obviously if she wins, which is v. unlikely, she truly does have a bad draw).
I may have missed something, but I make it that Isabelle only has 1 point before this week but she did win a match to get it - a R1 win at Loughborough 10K in November. Her other recent WCs were for a 10K where she lost in R1 and 50K qualifying, where she lost in QR1. (obviously she has been ranked before too but I mean only 1 point in the last 52 weeks)

Wow, fantastic win for 16-year-old Emily - she comes from a set down and a break down in the 3rd to beat Angelica Moratelli (ITA) WR 354 (CH 318 in Sep) 3-6 6-4 6-4!
I think she won the last 5 games from *1-4 down in the 3rd ... and that was only her 2nd ITF Pro Circuit match!
Edit: Moratelli & partner have since pulled out of the doubles, so maybe there was a physical issue in the final set. Even if there was though (and that isn't certain), Emily did remarkably well to keep herself in it for long enough to be able to take her chance.

Freya lost the 1st set 6-3 and has twice been a break down in the 2nd but has broken back both times 3-6 *4-4
Jade is also a set down (which is a bit of a surprise given the small difference in rankings and her opponent's nationality, though I guess if the Chilean was just a clay court specialist, she wouldn't have entered this tournament in the first place!) 3-6 1-1*
Naomi lost the first 4 games against Vrljic but won the next 4! *4-4
