The same three - Emilie, Ola and Kasia - should be in the MD, but this week they've been joined by Eliz Maloney, who is in qualifying. Just the one round to negotiate, and as long as she has acclimatised she should fancy her chances.
FQR: Eliz MALONEY (GBR) [q3] UNR/960 Born 2000 (JCH:122 April 17) vs Nifemi AKINBIYI (CAN) UNR/UNR Born 2001 (JCH:747 June 17)
Eliz qualified easily, MD now also out with 4 GB players. Emilie is 2nd seed this week. Favourable draws for all the players for the first round really, Eliz gets a fellow qualifier. She has a single, 1 pt counter from Sharm from last Nov, so if she wins this first round match it will be her second counter.

In the doubles all 4 are playing. Emilie is top seed with Madeline Kobelt (USA) again. They were also top seeds last week but only reached the QF, so will hope to do better this.
The Pitak sisters didn't play doubles last week, but this week are back and are the 2nd seeds.
Eliz is playing with Shatoo Mohamad (USA) and they play the BRA/GUA 3rd seeds.
Updated first round scores thus far. Ola makes it through again for another point, will play the qualifier who has just beaten Eliz next. Emilie has the last singles match, on later. Edit: Emilie's match time and opponent has been changed. She's on court now vs a LL

Yes, so here is the final round up from the singles today. Emilie will have another qualifier in the next round; would expect both Brits to pass through this one.
