I know that this will put the complete mockers on the whole thing but Laura has the perfect opportunity this week for a good run - it's one of those 'take advantage!' moments.
A good first round draw. A Q player in the second round who has barely made the main draw of a 10k, and not for the want of trying - 4 QR1 losses, 3 QR2 losses (although three in higher than 10ks).
No seed in her quarter as there is a Lucky Loser in place of the seed . .
Game face on, Laura - it doesn't come much better . . .
Now, Laura, as said yesterday - keep that game face on !!! - looks like you're going to have the Italian wildcard next, WR 1173 (who barely won her first match and is playing a LL now).
