As Phil indicated earlier there do appear to be two LL spots, which may rescue one or two - I'm not sure how it works but I would imagine being seeded helps.

But I'd still much prefer it didn't come to that and the girls pick up full qualifying points.

Seeding makes no difference here, all 4 losers will go into the hat and 2 will be drawn.

This translates as at least 2 of our 4 will make the MD.

But like everyone else I would rather they won the FQR smile .

Phew, Laura got out of that one. Hopefully she can play better in the second set.

Rogowska seems to have settled the ship although Em helped her out with 2 doubles at *4-2.

Freya just not getting going at all and Katy now in a real battle.

It's too much to try and follow at once my eyes are going to explode!

yes agree but better quality of opponent today contributing to the harder matches

And I see that if I had read through the LL rules have been discussed - apparently a random draw among all ranked FQR losers, which here will be all FQR losers so if there are two LL spots a 50/50 chance for any of the FQR losers. To which folk are saying "yes, we know"
