And Fran finishes the job. Great stuff girls! Fran could get a new career high after Madrid but depends on a lot of other results.

Wow, incredibly surprised and happy Katie got her first ever WTA win on clay!

Proper chuffed for Fran. She could have a great few months ahead *body permitting*. Hoping for a nice 1R draw!

I remember Fran, early in her career, saying she wanted to prove that there was nothing to stop disabled people following their dreams and she wanted to prove it. She said her aim was to be world number 1. I doubt if she will make it that far but she has a very real chance of getting into the top 100 and that would be a massive achievement.

 Does she get the 30 points for qualifying and 10 points for being in round 1 or is it just 30 points?

Definitely one of the trickier spots for Fran but doable.

 Just the qualifying points if she loses in the first round proper, but if she wins she would get qualifying plus 35 points for reaching the second round.

Olivia & Tereza face Ostapenko & Hsieh who beat them convincingly in Melbourne. Ostapenko also fresh off winning Stuggart singles beating Swiatek and Sabalenka along the way.

Katie also playing doubles with Daria Kasatkina.

Two cracking wins for Katie and Fran.

Not a terrible first round draw for Fran either. Kind of matches she needs to win to keep on moving up.
