Disappointing for Anna pressure of the home tournament maybe.

I'm not sure. I think it was quite likely to be a fairly close match, and looked like it could have gone either way late on, with Anna having 4 BPs at 4-4, and then having *40-15 at 4-5 (I didn't see any of the match though...)

Jasmine has been chipping away a bit at main draw wins, and that's her 2nd R1 win during this UK swing, as well as a decent wins in Bham quals last week, but it would be nice if she could make her first QF since 2020, and first at this level, but it will probably be tough if Freya loses tomorrow.

 I saw the top comment above before it was edited. From the stats what stands out is that points totals 115 to J against 124 to A, not a massive deficit in a long 3 set match BUT 5/9 bp for J while 6/24 for A. So Anna broke 1 more time but Jasmine saved a massive 18 break points.  Says something about her competitiveness and mental strength but also with that number likely to be a bit of luck involved along the way. The beauty of the tennis scoring system of course.

Jodie has a shocking record against Ozgen. A couple of them came very early on her career, and coming up to 36 y/o Pemra is maybe not at her peak, but their H2H is 5-0 and Jodie has only won 1 set, so she probably won't like that draw psychologically.

It's often hard to back up a good week with another, but all being well, Sonay will hopefully be able to get past her seed. Siskova was a similar low seed last week, but lost in R2, and was a betting underdog against both of her non seeded opponents (obviously winning one), so you'd think Sonay would be a fairly clear betting favourite in that, at least on paper.

Obviously who knows what will happen after last week, but I think 2 through in addition to the guaranteed one would be a decent return here.

Speaking of odds, Sonay is more than a 'fairly clear' favourite, she is a HUGE favourite. Bet 365 have her 1/12 vs 6/1. Siskova's average odds are 6.99, so basically 6/1 as well, but 1xBet have her at 8.80, which is almost 8/1. She doesn't seem to be in the best of form, but that's still crazy for someone currently ranked 272.
