Katie lost the second set 5-7

Katie seems to have made hard work of things, but came through in the end, 7-5 in the third.

Freya's score is either stuck, or for some reason, that match has not yet resumed.

Jeezo Freya that's a shocker

Worried about Freya- terrible start to the season. These tournaments are strong and she will have to play qualifiers for 25ks as well. Even the British Tour results weren't that convincing.

Crumbs; wasn't expecting those matches to get so close upon resumption. Glad Katie managed the win and can avenge Freya's loss in Q2...

edit...which she does biggrin

Looks like Katy Dunne has sneaked into the main draw
Freya and Katie are set to meet in qualifying if they get through their opening matches. Both have drawn Aussie wildcards.

Katie sneaks in at 288 entry ranking for a 60K event, however next week in Perth which is a 25K the cut off is currently at 251. Ridiculously strong.

I'm guessing if the GB girls knew how strong these events were they would have gone elsewhere.

Katie's bid to earn a main draw place is under way, *2-1
