That is a quick rematch for Katie.  Surprised  Jo is entered as I thought she might be out of action for a while with the injury from the AO.Katie playing overnight.

Fran is also playing tomorrow in her qualies match.

Is there any doubles in this event, or is it just singles?

Unfortunate rematch for Katie but hey, hopefully this time she will get the win.
Agree about Jo playing, maybe it wasn't that serious but it seems very short recovery from whatever it was to playing again

Katie will be on Amazon Prime, but not Fran - according to the expert in these matters, tennisontelly. Other Brits on the tv schedule as well.

It's also a rematch in qualifying for Fran against Niculescu. Hopes she wins as easily as in AO qualfying.

Peter, Niculescu is singles ranked 146. WR 53 is her doubles ranking.

I thought that ranking looked wrong and it looks like it's that WTA site thing again about defaulting to showing better doubles rankings.

 If you click on that very same link and go to the overview button it says there is a (24) doubles draw.

Nice idea this. I knew there were upcoming additional Aussie events, but I didn't realise it was this soon, and a very big field as well, with an extra round (for most) than a typical WTA 250 tournament. 16 points instead of 30 for a R1 win, Jo would get 30 if she won her first match.

Regarding watching, there could be a chance that Fran's Q match is streamed on the betting sites - there's a little TV symbol next to some of the qual matches, although I can't see one for Fran's. Unibet look like they are showing Hibi vs Marino, which is the Q match before Fran's, so it would seem strange to be streaming that one, but not the next Q match on the same court. Mind, I personally wouldn't be streaming a quals match on a betting site at circa 2am when there's Grand Slam tennis on at the same time, but it could be there if anyone wanted to.

 I did wonder why someone ranked 53 was in the Q draw. I keep getting caught out by some sites defaulting to doubles, while most default to singles.

 A real test for Fran, doing a repeat will be a real statement of intent for her.

 With luck Katie can play better with the pressure off.

Perhaps Jo panicked and could have played on after all.

 Maybe but she couldn't carry on serving double faults or having continuous treatment. I thought if you pulled an ab. it would take a few weeks before someone could play again.
