Lovely to see that Mandy has made the q draw here, alongside Vic Allen. There are actually two byes. Vic is seeded herself but could get Victoria Muntean, the 2nd q seed in the FQR, unfortunately. Mandy plays the q4 seed first up. Victoria's QR1 component was nowhere on the entry list and seems to have got in just by turning up.
QR1: Victoria ALLEN (GBR) [q10] 676 vs Saisha KHANNA (IND) UNR/UNR Born 2002
QR1: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) UNR/47 vs Laura SCHAEDER (GER) [q4] 617 (CH:277)
I do not understand this new system. How is Vic seeded but not Mandy? or is Vic ranked properly (WTA) rather than by just ITF (which I think the 47 refers to)

Yes FW, it may be a bit confusing at times, but if the player's entry is based on their WTA ranking, I only list that ranking; if it is based on their ITF ranking, then I will list both rankings, as in Mandy's case.
As expected, Vic and Amanda progress very easily to the FQR. Amanda's potential opponent is still playing. The FQR matches are scheduled at not before 1pm for Vic and not before 2.30pm for Amanda.

I was kind of expecting that type of scoreline for Vic given Khanna's recent results (numerous 0-6, 1-6 sets) and it'll be interesting to see how she gets on with Muntean later. Good luck to both Brits.

Shalimova lost relatively easily to EWS in early April.
