You little beauty Harriet. Slightly annoying about the draw but it fell in our favour in the qualies so can't really complain too much. Maybe 1 through to 2nd round. Getting through qualification is such a massive achievement, it must feel cose to winning titles.

So pleased to see that Harriet won!!!
Tough draws, but R1 in a slam you just never know!
3 qualifiers wow

 Absolutely.

Wonderful win for Harriet 

As Paul said, she should have won the first set. And not doing so, and winning in three, puts extra stress on the body. As per Katie B too.

BUT she's got a couple of days now to sort it out. Cramp is awful but isn't an injury as such. I'm sure she'll be on the starting line for the main draw match.

Main draws could have been nicer but, as you say emmsie, can't complain. given the quali draw. 

So nice to have a little cohort of players like this. Emma maybe is not really part of it, being so much younger (and better?). Indeed, Fran is only 20 too. But it's still a youngish group - Harriet, Katie B, Jodie - that seem very watchable. Shame Katie Swan is absent - she should be part of it. Fingers crossed for her injuries.

 Atleast 2 of this group should be heading upwards to DA by the French (I live in hope that Harriet will too, given she has made it through qualifying 4 times now) hopefully Jodie and Katie Swan can pick up the qualifying baton, both have the capability to make it through qualifying.  I hope Harriets 4 successes and of course Katie Swans Wimbledon qualifying give them the confidence to push for it because is must feel absolutely amazing to get into MD via qualifying. It can be such a lottery with players like Konjuh skulking down there.

Well done to all our girls - great combined effort!!

And a decent chance for Hev to break her US Open duck....though she's had decent chances before.....

 And for Jo to defeat Kiki. Her  0-5 record is her worst playing record of any opponent she has played in her whole career. Of course only 1 of  the matches was on the main tour. The others are either ITF or qualifying.
