Teliana's never been very good off of the dirt (putting it kindly), but, of late, she's even been struggling on it. A very fine clay-courter at her best though.

Pereira good enough to beat Amanda Carreras at Roehampton a couple of years ago on grass

Heather was 5th alt for the main draw. I don't know how she now stands as to her position and / or whether she still wishes to play here. Of course qualifying was no option for her.
