Cheri is in the main draw as a qualifier, not sure of the score but her opponent also made the main draw as a lucky loser. Cheri has a fellow Qualifier in the 1st round.
Two good results for Cheri now, meaning 2 ITF points too. Her first round draw gives her a good opportunity for picking up her first WTA point as well, though of course this will not give her a ranking. But the ITF points will certainly help her gain entry to future W15 tournaments if she so wishes.
R1: DARLEY, Cheri (GBR) Q UNR/UNR LOST TO RUPPERT, Lena (GER) Q UNR/1698 CH=874/1658 1-6 1-6
Couldn't take her break points, and couldn't save those against her - so not as bad as the score might suggest. A good tournament for young Cheri just the same.
