Beth and Eden in the same section of the draw, all the others have avoided each other.
Emily has the toughest draw, with a possible QR3 against the Q3 seed.
Freya and Jodie alsp have potential QR3 matches against higher ranked players.
But that is for the future - plenty of other matches to be played before then with the schedule over running from the previous week. Just 10 QR1 matches on the schedule for the Saturday, leaving another six for Sunday.

Anyone know what's happened to Maia? She seems to have disappeared from the OOP. Nice to see another win for Beth - her 3rd today.
Yes, I was about to note the same thing, that Maia is still in the Q list, and was in the original q draw, but has now obviously withdrawn and appears no longer there...
Today's results now finally up - Eden and Freya both lost, so only Emily A, Beth and Jodie through to the FQR, which will be tomorrow, plus some R32 matches.
Katie S is unseeded and due to play a qualifier and then potentially the top seed (still Rodinova), and Katie B is again #2.
In doubles, Beth and Olivia play again, whilst Freya has gone in with An-Sophie Mestach (BEL), one of the losing finalists today, and they are the top seeds.
Hmm, bit of a mixed bag there. Real shame about Maia. Eden follows up her poor Portugal with another loss at the first hurdle despite being the top seed (in her mini section). Like last week with Jodie, she would have been due to face a fellow Brit in a FQR, so one would have had to have lost anyway. Disappointing for Freya after a decent week last week.
Katie B plays Swan's conqueror and last weeks beaten finalist (she also disposed of the person who beat Katie B in the semi final as well) so that's a very tough draw from a #2 perspective.
Hopefully we get at least one of those advancing. Would be nice for Emily after a disappointing week last week. If any of them do advance, then there is a chance they will cross paths with their compatriots as 7 of the 8 qualifiers have been placed in section 1 and 4 where the Katie's both feature:
(1)Arina Rodionova (AUS) v Q Katie Swan (GBR) v Q An-Sophie Mestach (BEL) v Q (8)Ivana Jorovic (SRB) v Q
2nd quarter
3rd quarter
(7)Ganna Poznikhirenko (UKR) v Q Pemra Ozgen (TUR) v Q Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers (ESP) v Q (2)Katie Boulter (GBR) v Miriam Kolodziejova (CZE)
