Q1: SAMWAYS, Chelsea May (GBR) UNR def BENACKOVA, Karolina (CZE) UNR 6-3 7-6(6)

Well done Chelsea - into the MD

Suzy Larkin is playing doubles here but not singles.

I think her inscription may well have got messed up - she got automatically withdrawn from Sharm because of being higher placed in Romania. But obviously didn't want to decamp to Romania. You'd have thought she might have been given a wildcard though back into Sharm ?

Quasi-Brit, Mariam Bolkadze, is also here, seeded 5th.

Still frustrating....

R1: NJOZE, Mirabelle (GBR) 615 lost to ISAEVA, Anhzelika (RUS) 769 =CH 15yo JCH=613 7-6(5) 6-4

But Chelsea has started well, leading 2-0

Mirabelle+ win their QF 6-2 6-2 and are into the semis
