Just the way it has turned out.

The odds are you get a better R1 draw as seeds, just in that you are guaranteed to meet non seeds. But in this case Lissey & Olivia were originally drawn to play non seeds anyway, so then for themselves no theoretical R1 advantage in becoming seeds and it happens, when inheriting the original #2 seeds' spot, they have ended up with higher ranked opponents in Heather & Yanina.

They will though, unlike originally, now be guaranteed to not play a seeded pair before the SF in that the 4 seeds are in separate quarters.

An easier QF draw isn't much good if you don't get through R1 in the first place, a bird in the hand...

I was more annoyed that Heather and Yanina are playing Lissey and Liv, when both pairs stood a chance of a few wins.

Im more worried about Jodies play so far being out of sync with a top 100 ranking.

Yes audio is very annoying but not as bad as Jodies performance so far. Should be winning this.

If there is a silver lining, Raina looks fairly horrid for WTA250 level. Therefore any sort of uptick in performance ought to yield a result.

Yet another break at the start of the second. Can Jodie consolidate?

Jodie picked up her game during those last 3 games and takes the 2nd 6-4

She was lucky to escape, having to save break point at *4-4 but did play a good final game to take the set.

She's got the only hold of the decider 3-1*

The quality here is really dire. Jodie has dropped serve and it's 4-4* in the final set.

Raina's serve is pedestrian at best.

Make that 4-4*

The standard of this match is so bad. I get they are both nervous and this is a huge opportunity but yikes. The commentator trying to talk it up as some sort of iconic battle is quite funny.

She had a break point but ballooned a forehand. Second one she basically stopped running and couldn't get under the slice. Third she nets a forehand.

Takes her fourth, although the forehand looked barely in (camera angle is low and not the most viewer friendly).

*5-4
