Well Sam has a WC so that isn't awful and they are playing a high(ish) level ITF at a time where tournaments are pretty thin on the ground.

This was the acceptance list two days ago, so I think actually getting into quaifying is a result for Beth and Eden

Q14 Samantha Murray Sharan
A11 Eden Silva
A19 Sarah Beth Grey

 Yes, I just thought it might have been better if one of the others had got the WC rather than getting a seed each in Q1.

 They had to draw a seed. There are just two qualifying rounds and all the QR1 matches are seed vs non seed.

So no avoiding a relatively hlgh ranked player among the 16 seeds even if they both did get top 8 seeds.

Overall, combining that with Sam's draw and, as the addict said, them even getting into the singles draw, and it's not bad at all.

 

Edit: though I do see that such was the rate of late withdrawals that the q15 and q16 seeds are 'just' ranked 389 and 434 respectively.

 And playing Japanese on clay probably isnt the worst they could face in terms of background on clay...

Eden manages this time to hold her serve and takes the second set 6-4 to level the match.

Come on Eden!

Holding serve has been a rariry, only twice each now.

Eden has won 7/11 BPs against 8/12.

That's a really good win. The opponent had a decent run in that 128 draw Prague clay event the other week, where she beat seeded former top 50 player (Cepelova), who's currently on the brink of a clay W25 title.

Great stuff. Well done Eden.
