I assumed at first that Laura had scraped into the main draw but the top two seeds in qualifying were above her on the main draw entry list, so she can't be in the main draw unless one of the wild cards has withdrawn and the wild card has been transferred to her. So maybe it was injury or illness that led to the drop away against Oudin after all and she's not ready to play again yet.

Freya isn't in qualifying either, for the simple reason that she is still in Lubbock 25K. I guess 30(+) points in the hand are worth an unknown number in the bush (as it were) though.

QR1: Lisa Whybourn WR 451 v Ema Burgic Bucko (BIH) WR 493 (CH 481 in Aug)
QR1: Katie Swan WR 484 v Caitlin Whoriskey (USA) WR 345 (CH 268 in 2015)
QR1: Harriet Dart WR 367 v Sanaz Marand (USA) WR 381 (CH 242 in 2014)
QR1: Katie Boulter WR 437 v Ana Sofia Sánchez (MEX) WR 338 (CH 280 in 2014)

Shame about Laura, but with all due respect to Oudin I'd be surprised if a fully fit Laura would have lost that comprehensively to her especially given recent form so maybe it was injury after all. Hope she's back in action soon.

Laura had a medical time out for a leg injury before the second set against Oudin and given the very short turnaround between tournaments it's not surprising she hasn't made it here. There is one main draw place unaccounted for by my reckoning but no reason to think it's Laura's (not sure if Oudin's WC can be reassigned now she doesn't need it)

Laura has also played a lot more matches recently than what she's been used to for the last few years. Perhaps her body hasn't properly readjusted yet.

 Oudin gets a SE and frees up a wildcard.

I think Laura has used all her WC's though.

How about a wildcard for the winner of the futures at Lubbock? Would be a fair and equitable solution it always puzzles me that success at one level leads to a week off if the next tournament is a step up. Surely if development is the agenda it is a situation that needs addressing.

Poor scheduling by USTA - 25k, 75k, 25k. There should have been a 25k scheduled for this week.

Ms. Boulter comfortably through 7-6(4) 6-1
The other Katie is struggling against, a decent journey-woman, Ms. Swan down, and almost out 4-6 *0-5

Ms. Whoriskey improves to 3-0 against Brits in 2016, and 6-0 in sets; taking Katie S out, perhaps surprisingly, easily, 4-6 1-6
