Although the main draw starts tomorrow this is a week 3 event, acting as a warm-up for the Australian Open. We had 3 players in qualifying and all were successful. Brooke Black has a tough draw though, taking on the Orange Bowl runner-up (who also won the previous J500 event in Mexico)
Hannah wins 6-2 7-5. Not without its difficulties but she got over the line and recovered well from a boomerang break. Well done Hannah and hopefully that will have shaken off some first match nerves! :)
Abolsutely excellent win from Brooke over the 5th seed and top-10 player, Yaneva
It's true that Yaneva is a real clay court player - her impressive results sheet recently that David listed was on the clay in the North American swing
But all the same, a super win
Mind you, the seeds and 'names' have been falling like flies there today - they've lost a host of top players in that first round
Mark next plays 5th seed Jagger Leach, who has teamed up again with Oli in the doubles. They played 3 tournaments together in the North American swing recently with modest success. Mark, Oli and Hannah are all on first at 11pm GMT
