Very good by Laura.

As I have said before, she may be a bit "overranked" ( partly through "clever" scheduling ) but is often competitive enough to suggest not as majorly so as is sometime made out. It certainly doesn't need a practical muppet for her to hand out a big beating though a double bagel must be very satisfying. Clearly a very much tougher task awaits in R2.

 Shivani played for a while in the UK last summer on a 6.1 ranking and had average results for a player of that standard, beating a few higher ranked older or younger players and being competitive generally against others around the same rating.  There were certainly no results which suggest her rating was incorrect, so I would expect any of our WTA ranked players to blast through her losing a couple of games at most.

And, Indy, I think she was supported at these events by her brother !!!!!!!!!! (at least at the one BT she attempted)

I would like to heartily like to endorse the correspondents sentiments about The Muppets, they are practically perfect in every way.
