That looks like precisely what Jodie didn't need with her form of late.

 Chloé Paquet has just played the #1 seed in the W125 Trophée Clarins - never stood a chance - was getting thrashed - and suddenly Anisomova missed a couple of BPs, switched off, lost the second set - and walked off smile

Allez, Jodie !

Thought for a moment they were drawn against their opponents in the Paris WTA125 final, but Fanny has a different partner this week.
Again, just outside the seedings

L16:- Tereza Mihalikova (SVK) / Olivia Nicholls (GBR) CR66 (34+32) v Caroline Dolehide (USA) / Fanny Stolar (HUN) CR70 (20+50)

QR1: Jodie Burrage (GBR) WR170 lost to McCartney Kessler (USA) WR44 [Q1] 4-6 7-5 2-6

I see that Jodie didn't take her chances in the third set 0/4 break points against 2/4

Kessler didn't look that confident on clay the other day but hardly a surprise result. Maybe Jodie would have been better going to Rabat where the standard is quite a bit lower on the whole.

 I agree, but perhaps Jodie prefers to be nearer her home in the south of France before returning to England for the grass court season

 Maybe but her partner is based in France so wonder if she was trying to make the best out of being close(ish) for a few weeks.

Winner to play the winner of Danielle Collins and Sofia Kenin

Emma has played Kasatkina 3 times losing in 2 sets twice and retiring early in the 3rd match.

At least she has some experience playing her; and wasnt one of those losses at Eastbourne in crazily windy conditions?

 Possibly. Obviously the money is better too. However, Rabat isn't exactly miles away and she's hardly played any matches in the last 6 weeks. Also the grass court season is coming so i guess they will be together then too. I guess it just depends what your priorities are. She will probably struggle in Paris whatever the case happens in the run up and then will have a full grass court season to pick up wins and points.
