Yes, you'd think if Alicia Barnett beat Miyazaki in two quite easy sets, as she did in Nottingham, then Freya should certainly have a pretty good chance.
Ayukawa was another Japanese player who didn't have a great time in Notts - whereas Beth Askew had a pretty close match with the eventual finalist - so maybe Beth's on form and the other girl is a bit nervous - often easier to win a first round match . . .
