Week 19 - ITF ($60K) - Lu'an, China- Hard
Permalink  

Emily and Harriet have both drawn a qualifier. Qualifiers yet to be decided. Harriet is seeded 4.

They are both in doubles, Emily with Nika Kukharchuk and Harriet with Ankita Raina. Harriet+ is seeded 3. Unfortunately they meet in the 1st round.

Yeah, still a FQR to come, but when you see someone in the main draw ranked 655 (without needing a WC), you'd like to think they, particularly Harriet, would be too strong for an even lower ranked Q.

By an absolutely massive margin, this is the weakest $60K of the 10 such events held globally in 2018 to date; it is in fact weaker than 50% of all $25K held globally in 2018 so far.
Full details later today in charts thread.

Ankita used to be a fairly regular partner for Emily, so ironic she is partnering with Harriet against Emily this week, first up. Harriet and Ankita are ahead on the numbers, but I'm afraid when it comes to doubles, it's Emily I'm behind. Nika reached a 25k US doubles SF last week.

R16: HARRIET DART/ Ankita RAINA (GBR/IND) [3] 405 (197+208) vs Emily WEBLEY-SMITH/ Nika KUKHARCHUK (GBR/RUS) 730 (230+500)

Qualifiers placed - Both Brits get Chinese players

Both are WR in the 700's, 18-19 years old, and had average junior careers (JCH100-250).

Both Brits should really be winning here.

Harriet and Ankita win 64 63.

Em and partner had their chances in the first set to get ahead and to get back level but lost the critical deuce points mid-way through.

Disappointing Em couldn't build on last week and I was a little surprised she wasn't playing with Ankita herself. Perhaps Harriet and Ankita understandably just wanted to play with the higher ranked girl to give themselves the best possible chance of progress.
