How many qualifying spots are there for Eastbourne?

---

 6 spots - 24 players in qualifying and two rounds

And Mimi takes the first set 7-5

She went a break down, got it back, and then there was a slight rain delay and I thought that would allow Elsa to re-group

But Mimi came out, all ready

Sofascore and one or two others showing Sofia as American - has that happened before?

Mimi makes another mess of her service game with 3 doubles to lose 6-3 in the third. She could have won that but just too messy at really important times, whenever she had Elsa in the ropes she just let her in too easily again.

Shame - I'm not expecting much from Wimbledon but you never know.

 Yes

I think it's partly experience - not zoning in properly just when you need to - it's often easy to play well to fight back and then you let it all go - Hannah does that quite often too (as do many others) 

But, again, like Hannah, I thought it was far better than the standard we saw in May or whenever it was earlier this year

 Yes getting better after a long time away in the spring of this year. No clay court play. Pretty good show against a top 100 player who was as high as low 50s earlier this year. Just feeling it will take Mimi a bit longer to find her best game again.

Emily gets into trouble from *40-15 but the big flat T serve saves two set points and gets her out the game

5-5*
