That's interesting. I actually wondered whether Jo might also pop up in the singles here too.

Keep the goss coming Phil!

Might be an idea for Anna to have a singles refresh as well before the Fed Cup.

I was hoping for slightly better draws, but not to be. I'm expecting 3 or 4 GB girls in rnd 2 where we should see a battle of the dodgy shoulders.

I was hoping Jasmine would have an easier draw and a chance to get that ranking back.

Lisa having a massive tussle with Alannah, 46 63 *34, although she has created herself plenty of opportunities (helped by more than a dozen double faults from Alannah). Just perhaps not quite sharp enough yet to be taking advantage of them (6/18 on break points so far, Alannah is 6/7)

I'm hoping Beth can cause an upset today, and Freya.

Will be interesting to see what Anna brings to the table too . . .

Good to see from Lisa, hope this is the start of a new much less troubled chapter, and she can begin to build again.

Tara gets a very good hold, and finds a couple of aces. So Manisha will serve for the set at 4-5*

Beth misses two break points *0-2

Tara gets the break

*5-5

I'm quite torn on this one, I'd love to see Manisha start to crank her results up a gear, but it would be brilliant to see Tara getting into her stride again and making 2015 a great year.
