R1:- Ella McDonald (GBR) WR438 v Barbora Palicova (CZE) WR220 [5]
R1:- Mingge Xu (GBR) WR495/JR9/16yo [JE] v Astrid Lew Yan Foon (FRA) WR692 [WC]
R1:- Sarah Beth Grey (GBR) WR409 v Celine Naef (SUI) WR245 [7]
R1: Mimi takes the first set 6-2
Struggled in the second but won 7-5
that was good performance by Mimi given she had had a longish lay off post US Open juniors.
And also because Astrid is a decent enough player - she's young, on her way up, she was given a wildcard into RG qualis this year, which shows that the FFT think pretty well of her
Good to see Ella back, after a very short break, following the injury/illness that forced her to retire last time
And that's a close score against a well-ranked player
