Heather draws Pera round one, Jo has a bye as 8th seed and then Siniakova or a qualifier.

In more detail

R1:- Heather Watson (GBR) WR52 v Bernarda Pera (USA) WR61

R:1- Johanna Konta (GBR) WR15 [8] v Bye

If Heather gets through that she possibly faces Venus and then Osaka (musn't get too carried away !!)

Qualifiers placed in the women's draw. Siniakova plays Flipkens (Q), with Jo playing the winner.

Clijsters withdrew so Kasatkina got in as a LL.

 The folks at Tennis Abstract are back and rate Jo as likely to reach her seeding position in last 8 and Heather to win a close one and reach last 32.

 The tennis abstract predictions remind me of the pools panel giving your favourite team a win on paper when the matcb was cancelled due fo the weather. Apart from Monterrey Jo has no wins on the circuit since tbe 2019 US Open. Excluding Monterrey  and  including the matches in the Best of Bditish  there is nothing to feel optimistic about.  Jo may illustrate that with a knee problem you struggle to play top class tennis.

The tennis abstract site uses surface related ELO numbers to make their predictions and, as a whole, are remarkably correct, compared to other methods. However , like all algorithms,  as we have seen with A levels recently,  at a personal level they often break down. Perhaps we can think of Jo as an A level candidate this next few weeks and see what the algorithms predictions means for her!

I seem to remember the tennis abstract giving Jo a win over Bouzkova last week. Although based simply on their first  meeting a Bouzkova win could have been predicted.Also the algorithm does not take into account Jo's knee problem which seems to inhibit her performances in the past year.
