Allegra Korpanec Davies had a good week in the J100 (revised Grade 3) event in Chandigarh last week, but didn't quite go far enough to earn one of the first Special Exempts of the year. Nevertheless she has managed to come through 3 qualifiers (the first narrowly) to earn her place in the main draw along with Gabia Paskauskas. She has drawn a Kazakh who has been playing higher grade events for a while, including a J200 final

A nice start for Gabia against a girl who had a fairly similar ranking a year ago to Gabia's current one. Qualifiers play their round 1 matches tomorrow
