Confirmation of Ruse's MTO. I like Ruse so a shame for her if she can't play to her best, but obviously opportunities for our girls. A long way off and it may be precautionary and comes back to win this match comfortably, but thinking ahead, she is also in the MD for Glasgow and one more withdrawal would see Jodie in quals (assuming Maia gets a MDWC, which you'd think would be 100% nailed on being in Scotland).
Any other player and I wouldn't have been as bothered, but that girl has a great style, made a big impact during the grass season, loves playing on grass and was already out for 9 months earlier in her career (still just 21). A real shame for her and hopefully she gets better soon.
Jodie vs Eden for a place in the main draw. You'd have to fancy JAB there.
We can't see Laura play now, but she certainly has not started so well. Mostly close games so far, but 0/5 BPs for Laura and 2/2 BPs for Ponchet tells the story. Currently 1-4* deuce
