Yes I thought it was a lovely match of controlled aggression from Emma lots of winners few UEs. Similar to the 2nd/3rd sets from the BJK Cup vs France helped by lots of DFs and UEs by Kerber (but as mentioned earlier a lot of these in fact forced by aggressive returning and shot making by Emma - reminded me of Emma during her US Open run?).

Emma up to 252 in live rankings (GB #7) and 220 if she can repeat her French Open 2022 win over Noskova.

I see shes 5th alternate for the FO but Jodie is v likely to withdraw? Also Andreescu must be a risk given she last played in August 2023?

 If she could beat Noskova, no mean feat! I dont think they could overlook her as WC as the in form player. Wonder if she will get a WC for Madrid or Italy pre FO?

As an IMG event, I'm sure she has a WC for Madrid but after her withdrawal from Miami there's an agreement not to announce it until they have to. Rome I think will depend on how she does this week and in Madrid. Roland-Garros, no chance of a WC. They don't give WCs to foreign players except for the 2 reciprocal WCs with usa and Australia.

 Thanks Lambda. When is the cut off for the FO or has it passed, this always gets me confused!

 Thanks Lambda - I see Lily, Heather and Marni in the alternates list, would that mean we are only likely to have them and possibly Emma in the qualies?

So glad to see Nick Cavaday in the box.

He's a good guy.

And at least someone has got Emma back on track with how she should play

Nothing to do with the injuries but she lost the plot - all those top-spin returns from too far back - why?

Nick (and whoever else is there) - well done, that team

And Emma of course
