Well two opponents who have been in lousy form recently. Sakkari is basically a walking bye these days so anything less than a comfortable win for Katie would be a disappointment frankly.
Emma has a tougher draw. I'm not sure she will beat Kostyuk though this is unpredictable. Not sure who is likely to start favourite. Likely to be Osaka in round 2 which I suspect will be as far as Emma will go.
