Only saw the first set of Ranah's match. Ranah's was serving really well and her groundshots were very good. Pasek had a medical timeout at 5-1 and despite a wobble serving it out, she did so in the end
She seems to be in good form, so a nice draw would be very helpful.

Emma lost 7-5 in the third after a a couple of pretty unwise shots while serving to stay in it.
Laboutkova has a very languid, lefty, Schnyder-ish style that was sometimes catching Emma off balance. Emma had the weightier shot but a bit too flat footed with her movement sometimes.
Emma lost a very even match 7-5 in the third.
Emma was a bit lucky in the second set tie break coming from 4-0 down and winning it on a net cord.
Emma went 4-2 down in the third and then broke back and was serving really well until a poor service game at the end.
When Emma is on her game, she is quite a handful. She has a big serve, but her ground shots and inconsistent and ungainly at times.
Beth and Mimi won a title just two weeks ago, but that appears to have been a one-off pairing. Beth and Freya have won plenty of titles, but not together. And no doubles for Emily Appleton this week

Yes, she has really whippy shots, they're not the prettiest but her timing is good and she has a way of really catching her opponent by surprise - those inside out forehands that she wrist and forearms are very effective
I only saw from midway through the third set - it was terribly close - Emma gave the crowd a lot to cheer - it was a real shame she didn't quite manage to at least force a tiebreak
