A rain affected day means that Beth is now only due to play her Q1 match tomorrow, Monday.

Just to note that Ms. Grey's match against Shapatava is due to be streamed today at 13:00; a quite infrequent chance to watch her play for those interested.

Now live, Beth's FH looks in good order, when it connects: http://live.itftennis.com/en/live-streams/video.php?vid=14056857

*1-1 a break each

Well, not much clay style tennis was played, and Beth seemed rather unfamiliar with the surface, and could not find a solution to Shaptava's high bouncing shots that she frequently had to take above shoulder-height, and never looked comfortable in so doing.

FQR: Sarah Beth GREY (GBR) 595 lost to Sofia SHAPATAVA (GEO) [q3] 340 2-6 3-6

Well Beth does admut to being vertically challenged ! But I thought she has had a fair bit of clay court experience, so I am surprised tht she had trouble today. Mind you her record on clay last year wasn't very good only W1/L4

After 10 months out with a torn cruciate ligament, Laura Siegemund returned to action here today, with a tidy straight sets win
All being well, it looks like she will get to defend her Stuttgart crown, after all.
