This is almost Wang Qiang like, racking up the wins out of nowhere. She was obviously a higher ranked seed than her opponent today but that scoreline is so impressive especially when Silich was ranked higher than Eden has ever been less than 8 months ago and that's now 24 games out of her last 25 to back up last weeks success.

Lissey wins 64 76 (2)

A lot closer than it was looking at one stage, but job very much done nonetheless.

8 qualifiers and they aren't all complete, so it'll be a while before they are placed, but potential opponents are:

(5) Georges - circa 226
(6) Hesse - circa 233
(8) Paquet - circa 246
Honkova - circa 270
Maleckova - circa 295
Bucsa - circa 364
(WC) Noel - circa 727, but did very well last week
(WC) Halemai - circa 1052

 I thought her name was Alicia, good personal friend of yours I take it?

No its not unpleasant, its a pet hate when someone who may be referred to by close family and friends as Lissey. Im sure if she wanted to be called that for her tennis career her name wouldnt read as Alicia Barnett would it now?

 Apart from Gabi being shorter and easier to write, what's the difference with you calling Gabriella Taylor, 'Gabi'?

I don't think she'd use Lissey as the name on her social media accounts if she didn't like being called by it Jaggy. Your remark is gratuitous and unpleasant. I suppose we shouldn't call Gabi, Gabi then, nor Jo, Jo, nor anyone else other than by their full name? Come on Jaggy, let's cut out the unnecessary stuff please.
