Darn, missed out on those 1/200 odds.

Jorovic has withdrawn and the other seed in the top quarter was knocked out. As a result the top quarter is very weak. You have going through to the 2nd round a LL, ranked 356, a qualifier ranked 472, a IR ranked 547 and either another IR or a WC, neither of whom have a WTA ranking. Whoever gets through to the SF from Gabi's quarter has a real chance of making the final.

QF: Elena Gabriela RUSE / Gabriella TAYLOR (ROU/GBR) 684 (177+507) vs Robin ANDERSON / Catherine HARRISON (USA/USA) 1041 (422+619)

The initial matches are shown on ITF as being played on indoor courts which would tie in with today's weather forecast.

Katy lost as well

Disappointing results. It seems that those two aren't making any progress any more, and indeed are unable to match last season's results.
Live rankings shows Katy at #300, down 15 and Gabi at #282, down 30. Both have points coming off over the next month, so it looks as if further falls are likely.

Disappointing, was hoping they'd manage one win between them. I shouldn't have, but I had a quick peak at some of the threads on here from this time last year around Mildura and Canberra and the general excitement of her potential at the time. Gabi was then ranked above Katie B and there were comparisons to Vondrousova. Safe to say it's been a fully miserable 11 months or so for her. :(

It'll be interesting to see what happens regarding Wimbledon WC's this year. Katie B you'd think would be in the main draw directly as her grass points won't come off until the entry list is out. At this stage, Heather, Harriet and Katie S should all be in the 105-250 qualifying positions so you'd assume they'd all get a MDWC, but after that, not so sure. Naomi, Gabi and Katy seem to be going backwards and while obviously not beyond them, it would probably be a bit of a surprise if any of them found themselves back in to top 250 by mid-late June - I was going to say at least they'd have Surbiton and possibly Manchester to improve things, but then Gabi got to the QF of the former last year, so would be up against it just to maintain those points. It wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Maia or Jodie ranked above any of those at the time, but probably not in that all important top 250. The reigning Jr champ looks like she may get in directly and if the grass ITFs are won by Brits or those already qualified like Riske last year, then they may be sending some back like they do with the men. I suppose they could take a risk and go for youth and give Emma and Fran full ones this year instead of QWCs.

Still, there are 3 months left until then, so hopefully Gabi, Katy and even Naomi can get things going again by then.
