Katie withdrew after the draw was made (the #9 seed is in the spot). Probably best to take a week off after struggling in her last match.

R1:- Naiktha Bains (GBR) WR435 [4] v Qualifier

R1:- Brooke Black (GBR) WR759 v Erika Sema (JPN) WR589 [8]

 It's a pity, but as you say TA, Swan and her team have to look beyond just the next tournament, in order to maintain a base level of competitive match fitness / form until such time as Katie can take a longer break.
