And it will be Yulia Starodubtseva WR146

Starodubtseva is bidding to join a rare group of players to complete a qualifying Grand Slam by qualifying for all four Slams in the same year.

Hers is a fascinating story. She didn't play a ranking event between 2019-2023 while at college and only returned to the rankings in March 2023.

Her story is here: https://www.wtatennis.com/news/3856294/from-unranked-to-australian-open-starodubtseva-is-ready-to-shine

I thought it was interesting that Laura Robson said Lily had been working on making the intensity of her 4th and 5th shot as intense as her first. Really great insights (as usual) from Robbo.

Does Lily still share a coach with Jodie?

First set Sonay 6-2. She is actually on a 12 match winning streak. Her last defeat was to Gauff at Wimbledon

simon381 · Lower Club Player

First four games of set 2 are breaks. Feel she need to push to close it out this set.

Going by previous information, this one match is worth £37,000 to these players!

Emma v Kenin
Dart v Paquet
Boulter v q

Emma v Pegula in round 2. Winner could play Boulter

nicofrance · Strong Club Player

Horrible draw for Emma . Could be a very early exit . Dart should beat Paquet . And youd fancy Boulter to make the 3rd round .

Interesting draw !
Looks like Harriet has the best she could hope for, in a section that has Navarro [13] and Kostyuk [19] as the two seeds.
Qualifying slots against Swiatek, Sabalenka and Rybakina !

New thread started for the main draw.

Harriet beat Chloe in 3 in qualies last year.

Emma vs Kenin is very interesting. Not expecting much from Emma to be honest but could be a fun match.

Slipping away from Sonay? Set all.

Sonay into a decider .......

Her level has really dropped. Maybe the humidity?
