Week 2 - Australian Open Qualifying - Melbourne, Australia - Hard

Laura's section is really the only 'interesting' one in the whole draw, loaded with a lot of good players and interesting match-ups, rest of the draw is pretty unexciting (or you could just say, balanced!).

Tara's match will really depend on her I think, if she plays well she's good enough to beat Galfi (as talented as she is she's still got a long way to go), but if she's loading in double faults and not striking the ball well she could be out quite quickly, as Galfi will ruin anything in her strike range. If she can come through, rest of section doesn't look that bad.

Interesting match ups which could go either way. I'd probably say one through to QR2 and that being Laura, but really could see any combination.

Dalma's race #8 position is built on post 2016 WTA tour relative success in ITFs.

The ITFs were a good series including a China 25K title, a Japan 100K RU and a Japan 50K SF, if 'just' one top 100 scalp, Nao Hibino WR 84 in the Japan 100K. In the run she had 6 top 200 wins ( to 84, 126, 135, 141, 168 & 196 ) and two defeats ( to 24 and 192 ) plus a w/o loss.

Her WTA qualifying record this year is an Auckland three set loss to Anna Blinkova WR 192, her fellow 18 yo starlet. And in Hobart at the weekend, a 6-0 6-3 win against Tatjana Maria WR 112 and 6-1 6-1 loss to Elise Mertens WR 127 - maybe distracted by Aussie Open Qualifying as quite a few women who enter elsewhere seem to get.

So very solid of late, but not frightening. She does though appear to be generally continuing on a good path. Be interesting.

About to start. Strange outfit, though I am only watching on my phone so hard to make it out. She has the aura of being very 'up' for this match though so here's hoping !!

I'm trying to watch on my tablet, but the picture is so poor it's hard to see the ball most of the time. Won't even start on my laptop.
