Q1: GILLAN, Alice (GBR) UNR v Bye

Sounds like a rather powerful opponent.

If Alice can avoid a seed, she must have a decent chance of getting that third point.

Alice is in the doubles too, but up against the #2 seeds in the first round.

2 & 1 in the singles too, but this time TO Alice, so many congrats to her on finally securing a WTA singles ranking

She gets 15-year-old unranked wild card Adithya Karunaratne from Sri Lanka (junior WR 237; CH 205 in Jan) in R2, who won 6-0 3-0 ret. v 3rd seed Ka (CAM) - given the retirement, that scoreline could mean just about anything, of course.

Excellent - really pleased for her biggrin

She's never going to be making the front page of the tennis news, and her other counters come off very soon unfortunately, but she stood out at the NTC as being that bit better than the rest of her British-Tour sort of cohort. And she's only just turned 19 - well done !

Yay, well done Alice

Will take us back to 32 ranked women on 16/10 and into November at least, replacing Lauryn John-Baptiste who will exit the rankings for now this coming Monday.

Alice takes an immediate break in the third. Only to then concede it a couple of games later.

3-3

Another break. A dodgy hold. A hold by her opponent. And now serving for it at 5-4
