The bookies had 3 of ours as odds on, so to not have any through is not great. So we'll have 2 LL's and given that Laura has been on the court for 6 hours the last 2 days(exhausted), and Freya really struggled(maybe still carrying a niggle), it may be best for Katy and Em to bag them, as both acquitted themselves well in defeat.

That all could have gone better.

Now to the LL fates ...

4/4. Oh dear, debatable if any deserve a lucky loser slot really.

 I'd like Katy to get another shot. Realistically the only winnable slot is the Q/LL v Q/LL one. Cant see a win against the other placements.

The QvLL slot may end up as a rematch which could be interesting given that two close 3 set results.

By making such a mess of yesterday's match Laura made her job much harder today especially as it turned into another long match. I'm not sure she would gain much from a LL spot either, might be best to regroup and get ready for the $25k next week where she should be seeded.

If anyone deserves the LL spot most it's Katy for getting so close today.

Interesting that the ITF site just has blanks in the draw, whilst the Lexington Challenger site has Q/LL

I hope Katy gets one spot. Looks like Freya is struggling and Laura could probably do with regrouping as said above.

In the first set Laura looked in a comfortable position up 4-1 but when Bai broke back it seemed to be a struggle

Yesterdays long match can't have helped but I don't think Bai will do anything in the main draw

So we basically all agree that Katy is most deserving, after that anyone's guess. I wonder whether the 4 Brits will get together and decide which 2 are the best equipped to go forward, so that only 2 names are put forward for the draw.

Katy is in, so just 2 from the remaining 3.

Who needed those silly extra points anyway ???

And he also says that Laura and Katy will be playing each other !

And Em W-S gets a re-match with Rog.

For info, if they lose in R1 they will just get their 3 FQR points.

If they win at least one MD round ( and clearly at least one will ) they won't add any points from qualifying ie a LL going out in R2 gets 8 points as against a 'proper' qualifier who would get 13 (8+5).

But hey still having 3 in and one guaranteed into R2 is a bit of a result in the circumstances of today's proceedings.
