Well done Lily. Lily is at 211 in the world rankings I see, but this feels like the first event I have heard much about her for a long time, good to see her showing some form.
Patricia Tig is in qualifying here as 12th seed. However using her special ranking of 65 she is a direct entry into the US Open.
Her record this year is pretty dismal - 4 wins and 5 losses - the 4 wins were in W15's - 2 in Bacau and 2 in Bucharest, both on clay. Doesn't look like the trip to NY will be worthwhile - apart from the money of course !!
Tig is also a special ranking direct entry for Cleveland before her similar direct entry for the US Open. She has not won a match on the WTA tour for ages.
