The third J500 of the year has a fairly strong field, with Allegra Korpanec Davies claiming the last of the 16 seeded positions, and fortunate to be in the same section as 2 wildcards and a qualifier, though the qualifier beat her earlier in the month. Flora Johnson has also selected to play here rather than Aldershot to try to garner points to make the Roland Garros cut. A second J500 doubles title would certainly improve her chances.

R1 (L64)
(WC) Gloria Reusch (GER) v (16) Allegra Korpanec Davies
Flora's loss against an accomplished home seed was no surprise, but Allegra followed suit, which is disappointing. Their chance of good points therefore rests with the doubles, where they are both (with different partners) low seeds
