Given the field that's not a particularly good opener but hopefully they can come through ok. Their quarter final would be (on paper)  much simpler.

Yes, given the girls are no 3 seeds, it is clearly not a particularly strong field, but that's not a great draw on South American clay.

Hopefully, they can get through that R1 and more.

All good practice for next time a Fed Cup tie is on South American clay :)

It's all about keeping the momentum going after gaining a huge amount at the FedCup.

Torro-Flor looks on a par as a doubles player compared to our 2, but Ormaechea hasn't played any doubles since the FO, and it is a scratch partnership, so they should have enough. And as Hev said at FedCup the courts at Budapest played like a clay court so not bad prep for this swing.

Hope they keep their focus on the tennis. Just a few distractions in Rio over the next couple of dayswink

Good news is that they'll be streamed later.

Also Torro-Flor retired from her singles yesterday.

That looks like a good break, neither are doubles players, it's a scratch pairing, and assuming they're not phased by a sudden change in matchup, should be relatively straightforward, not attempting to tempt fate !

They are just making too many unforced errors. The other team are very average and the girl in green is the player they should be targeting.
