And through to face the Glasgow No1 seed, Al Nabhani, who lost to Maia in R1, paired with Zaja, who beat her in the final.

Excellent win; here's hoping for more of the same in the singles tomorrow :)

Bad luck Laura; tough draw :(
Katie may be on court sooner than we thought; first match on court 3 saw a 21 year old Russian wild card get double bagelled...

Haha, looks like Katie's prior match is a war of attrition...100 minutes in and could have another 100 to go yet by the looks of it :(

First break of the match and Katie drops the first set 4-6, was 40-15 up but last point is a DF cry

Her opponent clearly has a decent serve with 92% success behind first deliveries

The take-away from this, of course, might be that Ms Al Nabhani, from Oman, is very happy playing in Egypt and found Glasgow an utter shock to the system and has vowed never to go there again.

Looking at her results sheet form last year, minus one trip to Canada, and the ill-fated jaunt to Scotland, she has played 100% in the Middle East/North Africa/Greece and Asia.

I think the fields are much stronger at the moment. Last autumn players like Laura and Mirabelle were getting seeded 7 or 8 in Egypt or Tunisia. The problem seems to be that there are no accessible 15/25k events to draw off most of the 200-400 ranked players.
