Another first round match that Naomi should win on paper but probably won't on the court. But boy, could she do with some points, even a small handful would be something for a start...
QR1: Naomi BROADY (GBR) [q10] 384 vs Ashley KRATZER (USA) 475 (CH:200 Aug 18)
Main draw is out as well. Harriet open with a qualifier, and could play either Bouchard or Babos in R2. Heather (defending runer up points) opens up with WC Branstine and then potentially Nara or Rybarikova.
Not the kindest draw for Harriet (after initially drawing a Q), the Q1 and a recent W80 winner so would have avoided the quals if the cut off was later, but still lower ranked, so hopefully she'll have enough - that's tomorrow with confirmed time as of yet.
Hev is on first today at 6pm UK, but it looks like there are no streams for this tournament. I can't remember watching any of Heathers run here last year, particularly her match with Katie B, so perhaps not surprising.
