Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Gabby and Katy D should be in the MD

Potential banana skin there for Em after a few weeks out, must have been a lot of late withdrawals as she was outside the seeds on the entry list.

Or 3 of the Americans above her in the entry list have MD WCs? She's moved above the other 2 Americans since the entry list rankings date.

Here's a third..

Wins 62 75

Never in doubt, and hey, 30mins more court time is always handy after a wee break isn't it?

Phew ! I was starting to get worried after those four consecutive lost games.
Kennedy (?) Shaffer next. 21 year old, WR797

Main draw is out and pretty favourable to be honest.

Gabi gets a 16 year old WC Peyton Sterns - never heard of her so no idea if she is highly thought of, while Katy gets a Q. Could be EWS if she makes it, but when you are below the half way mark in the draw then a Q is always welcome.

Em misses to break points, two game points and two more break points

*0-3

And then the set evaporates

0-6 0-0*

Take those chances in the first three games and it's a totally different match. This sport eh!
