Wow Charlotte Pearce, no doubt inspired by her personal cheering squad.
Probably Manisha was our best hope, so 2 qualifiers clearly surpassing expectations.

Completely agree. Given the draw, Manisha was always our best chance - in fact, i'd though Beth Askew might well take out Mana in the first round. So well done to Manisha - another good result
But what a bolt from the blue from Charlie Pearce !!! And having been so close to losing - just mega !
As Katy Dunne says, with infectious joy:
Yeeeeees @iCharliePearce !!! Massive! Last time I looked at the score you were 5-3 30-15 down in the 3rd #boomtown
Tough draws, especially for most of those most likely to be able to take advantage had they got decent ones, but who knows - some could have a chance if they play near their best. No Brits in the top quarter, the blank lines separate the other quarters.

GB on a shirt, Davis Cup still gleaming, 79 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming ... 29/11/2015 that dream came true!
Amandine's balls will either be clean winners or out by a country mile.
She's been playing a lot of big tournaments in the last 6 months - WTA and 100Ks and 50Ks. Trying to confirm her top 200 level. But hasn't had all that much success. Which will be frustrating for her (and she certainly DOES frustration ! In spades). So it'll be curious . . . she's certainly got a big game, but half the time it's more on the neighboring court than the one's she's supposed to be playing on . . .
Off topic, but I notice Jade Curtis has now graduated (having barely lost a match in 3 years!) - anyone know whether she's planning on playing on the tour again? Haven't seen her on any lists this summer...hope she does!
