Eden taking advantage of the compartively good draw, looks very comfortable against a poor Sharma.

Em as expected getting pulverised by Kozlova's power from the back of the court. She did have chances to recover from *0-3 to *3-3 but couldn't close the game and that seemed to calm Kozlova down who was starting to get a bit frustrated.

She's done it !!!

Bravo to Eden - 6-2 7-6(6)

Super result. Saved two set points in that second set tb.

Really pleased for her. Always been a fan. So glad she's getting some results now.

Eden won 8-6 in 2nd set tie break.
See Bains no longer playing Jones, don't know if that means Fran's been upgraded to mdwc or is injured.

Good win. And Naiktha gets over the line against Neel 6-4 7-6(3). Not particularly impressive or convincing but a wins a win.

Main draw is out, even if hard to find at the moment.
Confirms that Fran, Harriet and Sam Stosur are the MDWC, and Heather is in the draw.

Stolen from Steven's twitter feed

(WC) @harriet_dart has drawn former top 5 player Caroline Garcia FRA WR 58 (CH 4 in 2018) in R1
@HeatherWatson92 will play Viktorija Golubic SUI WR 72 (CH 51 in 2017) - they don't seem have met in seniors or in junior ITFs before despite both having been born in 1992
Francesca Jones has got a late wild card (presumably the one Katie originally had) and will face 3rd seed Donna Veki CRO WR 36 (CH 19 in 2019) in R1

Yes, absolutely.

Never been a fan of Naiktha's tennis but lovely to see her get a nice win here.

And a little boost to confidence can do wonders. 

Pleased for her.

Beth ended up losing the third set, 3-6.

Which is a shame.

But we can't be greedy, I guess. Two wins is already pretty good (can't see Naomi turning it around but hey.....)

Tara loses despite a battling second set. ul results added into my previous post.

Eden winning was a great resut, and Naiktha wasn't a surprise (I'm assuming Neel was an on-site alternate as her singles ranking is so low)
