Jan · Hall of fame

Excellent!!

indiana · Tennis legend

Ah I hadn't looked in at all since they broke each other over the first 3 games. Just hoped that Harriet would battle through. Err I see that she did biggrin

Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Great solid first win and a great chance to make the MD

So, Zheng retires at 7-5 4-0 in her match with Qiang Wang. I wouldn't rule her out withdrawing from DC yet and I think they could play on Wednesday if needed. If she does withdraw then that would open up a LL spot for one of the 4 losing Washington FQR competitors.

Doubles
Our only representative, Harriet, meets Guarachi again.
R16: Harriet DART/Prarthana THOMBARE (GBR/IND) 273 (126 + 147) v. Alexa GUARACHI/Erin ROUTLIFFE (CHI/NZL) [4] 201 (85 + 116)

Most are going to be unlucky if want to follow Harriet's match to a conclusion. 4th on 'Stadium' court, the matches from 3pm have went

7-5 6-7 7-5
7-5 5-7 1-0

Still a women's singles match to play as well before she gets on.

Although, literally a minute after I post that, Jason Jung retires so Donald Young advances.

Harriet will now follow Kalinina vs Chirico so will hopefully get on court before 10pm.

Kalinina has just won her match so Harriet should be about to start within the next 10 mins.

I see the top seed Bonaventure has just lost 6-1 6-0. Kiick may well have just been inspired playing in a home tournament, but I wonder if Ysaline has got wind of a LL spot opening up (potentially SaiSai Zheng) and assured of getting it as that is awful scoreline for her.

WC Andreescu has withdrawn. She gave a WO in.the Granby SF yesterday.

Ah right, shame for her as she reached the QF last year. I did a quick 'Bonaventure' search on Twitter and turns out that she had a MTO so that likely would have affected her game, unless tactical. May well be 2 LL slots opening up.
