Hard to know what to make of this Katie performance. It's all a bit sluggish but it is her second match back. Inglis not exactly got much grass prowess but doing enough.

3-6 *3-2

Yes, it's not inspired, but Katie looking very happy with the challenge - I thought she played better in the second, which put pressure on Inglis

Hopefully it'll carry on to the third....

Good win to grind out. Although worrying that after just one match her arm is back to being fully strapped. Worried how it's going to hold up after that one.

Well done, Katie !!!

And well done to the GB contingent - three through qualis and wins from Hev and Harriet - it's been a very good day

ADD: And Jodie to come........

Great set of results so far

What a great day! Jodie starting really well too.

Feel for Beth, but pleased for Eden; before Nottingham 4 in May, she'd not come back from a set down to win a proper three setter since Feb '21; now she's done it 4 times in her last 3 tournaments. She's also already exceeded her wins for the whole of 2021 in 2022 (as has Heather, incidentally!).

Jodie recovered from an early break but should really be a break up, missed 5 a couple of return games ago.

4-3*

As others have already said, a great day for the women so far. Fingers crossed Jodie can join them

Qualifiers have been placed.

Eden gets the lowest ranked player, Marino (WR 109), a great test for her.
Lily gets Frech (WR 92)
Katie gets Maria (WR 106), who as we've seen is dangerous on grass.

Definitely not draws to be complained about, given that other qualifiers got Zhang and Riske - should be great experiences all round :)

Bloomin eck Jodie that tiebreak. Up and down but up at the right time!

7-6(5) 0-0*

Lily has the best draw of the bunch.

Jodie takes the first set 7-6(5)

She won the first 3 points of the TB, lost the next 5, and won the final 4.

Crispy · Strong Club Player

I think we all feared the worst at 3-5 down in that breaker but very cool headed to finish it off from Jodie

Jodie breaks for *5-4 in the second set.
