Looks like it. OER predicts WR31 with only Krejikova still playing from the few players in her way. She would have to beat Anisimova or Jovic though
Looks like Iva so far.

Looks good with a final, though there is still the big WTA Berlin 500 tournament next week ( for which Emma herself is entered ) plus WTA 250 Nottingham.

When are seedings set from rankings? Is it before or after Nottingham finishes?

Can't see them getting all the doubles done today

Not that it's quite so much of an issue for doubles

Iva is going into her 3rd set in singles

And then has a doubles 'after suitable rest' - and then - if she+ were to win - another one

After. They are based on the Monday 22/06 rankings list.

Actually, of course Mboko is out which gives Emma one more place breathing place.

And Jovic comes through to wait to see if she will play Emma

Katie B v Ryhakina next on the main court, then Emma's match on the same court, (almost certainly tomorrow)

A ranking of 34 would get a seeding with Mboko and Baptiste out and possibly 35 if Chwalinska doesn't get a WC.

Yay smile Saved 3 MPs - at 4-5* 30-40 & deuce in the 2nd set and at *9-10 in the MTB. Won the match on their 2nd MP in the MTB.

Up 5 places in the live rankings. 325 points from here is not their biggest counter, but it replaces 1 from last year and makes 49points from Paris 125k a non-counter.

Well done them! Has Liv ever been this far in a 500 before?

Yes, their biggest counter is the WTA 500 Berlin title from next week last year.

At the very least they are getting in a very strong defence in advance, and hopefully they can do well again next week.

Katie B to serve for the set at 6-5 against the no 1 seed WR 2 Rybakina !
