The doubles trap strikes again Harriets CH is 121 I think, certainly not ever been top 100

I had never heard of the young opponent (she's 16) until I saw the draw last night. I see Bet365 have priced it at Harriet 1/20, Gailis 10/1, so hopefully it will be a pretty straightforward 13 points for her. Some random names in this 500 qual draw - Nara is a crazy 1/150 to win her Q1 match. Nice points if you can get them.

She's 3rd on Court 3, where play starts at 3pm UK, so will probably be clashing directly with the Miami women's final. It is on Unibet's schedule for those wanting to stream - www.unibet.co.uk/betting/sports/filter/tennis

Possible AO qual rematch with Grace Min in the FQR, if they come through their respective Q1 matches, although Grace's does look tougher on paper.

It really is a stupid system. If you click the singles button you would expect it to go to the singles ranking but instead it alternates between singles and doubles so you have to guess whether the one you want is blue writing on white or white writing on blue.

Min won seemingly comfortably, so that's who the winner in Harriet's match will face for a place in the main draw.

There was a 6-0 6-0 in the first match on Harriet's court, but the second match has just gone 7-6, so another set or two there before Harriet will be on.

Harriet underway, and an immediate break. *1-0.

It is on Unibet / dodgy streams for those wanting to watch.

6-1.

Harriet won 6-1 6-2.

Only saw the opening game, but seems routine. A nice, easy 13 points secured, and the Grace Min rematch tomorrow.

Fingers crossed the last match was just lack of match play.

Yes, that was my thinking, and hopefully will turn out to be the case.

I was kind of boring my way through the Miami final, and seeing parts of Fran as it was more latter stage, and a more interesting match up on paper, but I will try and watch that match in full tomorrow (hopefully it won't clash directly with Fran-BHM).

I would start using some other website tbh. What a mess the WTA is for their own players!

It seems to be a common theme, the LTA one is a disaster.

The ITF website is a lot clearer - you don't get a list of rankings, but the player search works well, and gives you more information. As well as WTA/ATP rankings there are the ITF rankings, and the player activity always seems to be up to date.

ITF is a template to how the others should work. It's relatively easy to navigate, all the info on tournaments is easy to find, who has entered etc.
