None of our promising youngest in qualifying? Thought we might see them here, or is there a junior event/ITF event also going on in the country this week?

 Not that Im aware. Bit of a shame.

 But who?

Hannah and Mimi and Mika couldn't play as they would have been expecting to be in Roland Garros - and they nearly were in the doubles, all three of them

It would have been daft to hottail it back to the UK, from clay, and be given a wildcard to a grass event a day later 

And after those three, and with Hep seemingly injured, I'm not sure there's another player quite at the level, and better than Naiktha and Millie 

 

 

 I understand they couldnt play due to FO commitments. I am sure we will see them eventually..add a bit of sparkle to events. However there is always Emma to shine. Hopefully. 

 Yes I agree would be good to see them, maybe birmingham or eastbourne would be good opportunities!

Hep has a WC to the British Tour Premier next week. I suspect she's been out doing exams rather than being injured.

Both Sonay and Beth needed wild cards which suggests they, very bizarrely, had not entered on the original qualifying lists, as Emily is in on her own ranking.

Sam is not showing as being a wildcard either, so she must still have a singles PR?

 Have they not filled out the draw with a few onsite doubles players? Looks like one or two others may have got in as well although I dont know their ranking status ! 

 Diatchenko appears to have no ranking, but she did retire from a match just over a year ago when she was ranked 250. Diyas is another one who appears to have been out for a year - she was 128 then. Until a full draw is posted by the WTA or LTA it won't be clear if they have SR or are on-site entries.

It's interesting how far down the rankings the entries have gone, so some opportunities for GB girls.

Diatchenko is playing with her protected ranking which is about 250ish

The qualies list entry cut off is a lot lower than the event in Holland this week.

Is qualifying available to watch anywhere?

 Oh dear just in time to see Katy get beaten.  She was clearing injured as she served underarm or the last few points.  Can't see her her getting a QWC now.  Such a shame

Well done !

Yes, from the little bits I saw on Bet365, there wasn't much of a match, tbh - Sonay was winning easily (as per the score)

Marni basically threw away her first set, though, which is irritating

Marni went down in the second, but did well to regroup straight away, and played a lot tighter, and took the second set easily

Millie has started poorly, not making enough basic shots and making it too easy for Linda F who still looks very uncomfortable on grass

Like SO many of Marni's matches, that was another one that was absolutely in her pocket - and then she decides to chip a forehand, just like Freya used to, and chip another - and then it's all gone.....
