Surprised Fran didn't opt for one of the W60s. Perhaps with 57 points dropping from last year's Prague 125 she felt needed a higher chance of a tournament win? With those 57 points being replaced by her US 20 points, and her 16th counter being 9 points, she would need to reach the final here to cover all the points dropping. Tough for Amanda.
R32: (1) Fran Jones GBR 170 (CH 167 Jul 21) v Ilona-Georgiana Ghioroaie ROM 425 (CH 384 Jul 18) R32: Amanda Carreras GBR 411 (CH 236 Apr 17) v (6) Bianca Turati ITA 294 (CH 259 Apr 21) HTH: 1-0 (2015: 10K Santa Magherita di Pula (Clay) W 5 & 2)
I checked Trieste several times but they always seemed to be later than everyone else with acceptance lists, Q draw and Main draw and I eventually forgot to go back again, so thanks for picking it up.
