Bad draw for Jodie - she gets the top seed Magda Linette WR24
Only on paper. This is very winnable for Jodie, she beat her in Nottingham and Linette has been pretty terrible since her run at the Australian Open. She's now a top 100 player and this is exactly the sort of match Jodie should be relishing against an opponent she has already beaten and not in great form.
I'd be disappointed if Jodie doesn't at least run her close but I'm actually quietly confident she will win.
Well done Harriet as well. Picking up a few points and winning some matches will hopefully gain her some confidence towards the end of what has bee a pretty disappointing season.
Good to see Harriet qualify. Seems to be getting something going on this little tour. Winnable 1st round, hope she can do it.
Agree with Harrygem. I have no idea how Linette go so highly ranked. Great chance for Jodie to show what she can do. Would be nice to get. QF at least outside of the Uk.
Jodie currently a set up on Linette (7-6(3)). Playing pretty well but broken in first game of second set...and currently changing her wet (I'm assuming from sweat) shoes, but also they're mopping the back of the court.
