Melanie did not play between Oct 2014 and June 2015. The highest ranked player that Melanie has beaten in the last 12 months is Naomi Broady. At the time in 2014 Naomi was ranked 141.
I watched the Las Vegas match last year. It was very one-sided. Indeed the gulf in class was alarming, though neither Naomi's overly passive strategy, nor the speed of the court, helped her cause. I believe Quebec is meant to be a fast surface so hopefully Naomi can dominate on her own serve and perhaps steal a break at some point.
The rest of the draw, and the qualifying slots in the main draw, look inviting to me.
