Well, realistically, you can't ask for better set of overall draws than that.

R32: Katie BOULTER (GBR) 298 v. (WC) Basak AKBAS (TUR) UNR (CH 1172, Apr. 2016; 17 yo JWR 31 =JCH)
R32: Freya CHRISTIE (GBR) 346 v. (WC) Ebru Zeynep YAZGAN UNR (=CH; 16 yo, JWR 435, JCH 419 - Jan. 2017)
R32: Laura ROBSON (GBR) [7] 208 v. (WC) Melis SEZER (TUR) 448 (CH 336, Mar. 2014)

 Not being funny but doubles matters little to any of these players so I doubt they are that bothered. Doubles is 70per cent lottery anyway especially at this level.

This opinion has been expressed before, and was noted at that time.
Considering Ms. Lister is primarily a doubles specialist, it is reasonable to presume that she probably is, 'that bothered'.

3 times out of 3 then that Laura has successfully negotiated the first round of a $25K this season.
On the previous two occasions though, she lost in round two to lower ranked opposition.

Hopefully she can buck the trend here.

KB's on. With 9 wins in her last 10, shouldn't have much trouble with a local wildcard; but in the next round she faces Rybarikova, multiple WTA title winner, CH31, returning from injury;

18 points in a row takes KB to a 5-1* lead.
