Yes it is. The ITF website doesn't show the byes at the moment, but there are 40 players and 24 spaces for qualifiers/byes, so I expect it'll be updated tomorrow nght after qualifying is over - except they had a rain delay today so some matches have been postponed until tomorrow.

Hopefully they can end their losing streak with a win over this very young pair

Em's first ITF doubles title was with Sarah Borwell in 2004 and Sofia's first was in 2006, so both before either of their opponents were born

I need to check if my medical insurance covers match tie break induced illnesses.

Set and a break down, save three match points at *4-5, another at *8-9 in the MTB.

The shorter of the two Czech girls was excellent. Not sure if she's the younger though didn't catch which was which.
