I wonder why Naiktha wasn't in qualifying - I suppose she didn't enter, and is just going to play doubls with Maia. Jodie is here to and presumably Katie B although I haven't seen any sign of her yet.

Edit:- I suspect Maia was playing as an Alt, as she appears to be the lowest ranked player in the draw (other than wild cards) by some distance. Harriet's opponent is a wild card.

Lissey and Liv have gone to Mexico as noted below

Solid start. Hope she can qualify now.

Lissey and Liv are in Mexico, they've sneaked into the 1000 event there.

Should probably have gone to China instead.

No Katie - withdrew.

Bad draw for Jodie - she gets the top seed Magda Linette WR24

PaulM · Tennis legend

Harriet gets up 5-1 *40-15, misses four first serves and watched four second serve return winners fly past her.

5-2*
