Manisha didn't enter. So given she has hit a rich vein of form and the qualis were very short has signed in and should make main draw, even if it means two matches in one day.

A question here, would Manisha, as a late entry, still have to play the qualifier, even if she wins this week?

If she entered, she would have an SE. As she didn't enter, she cannot claim a SE.

Manisha takes the first set 6-1.

Manisha winning 6-1 2-0

We have a re-match of last week's semi final....

Which is kind of ridiculous for a first round match!

I'm worried that Manisha is knackered, but in fairness, Skryabina has only played one less match.

both of these last week were successful seed bashers, hence the fact that they met in the SF last week.

This week, as 2 qualifiers they meet in an early round.

I understand why... I'm just saying it's a rare sight to see two semi-finalists from one week facing off in the 1st round of a tournament the next week...
