Yaneeva reached the SF in Brescia last week - on clay - lost to Sherif. I fancy Lily's chances there. Otherwise Heather and Ella are the best chances, although, Katy may stand a chance against Sasnovich and if Millie plays well she could win as well.

Looking further ahead, the prospects aren't so good........
But they're all winners for getting this far, especially those who came through pre-qualifying.

I can see at least 9 matches I would like to watch tomorrow, but the scheduling means that I'll be lucky to get to more than 4 of them. Oh well........

My reasoning for Dani is Riera doesnt appear to have played on grass since Wimbledon qualies last year, has never got past round 2 of qualifying and has only played on clay since February

 Riera hasn't done so well on hard courts either. But last year here she beat Taylah Preston 4 & 2 and took a set off Iva Jovic who was ranked a lowly 89 at the time.

 I think you might be right on Heather and Ella - I'll add Lily to make it three wins tomorrow. It's going to be scorching though - so some players will cope better with the extreme heat than others, and I reckon it makes it far harder to predict. Anyway a good luck to all our players from me - everyone is rooting for you all and we will be delighted at any who come through.

I think Lily has a good chance too - not completely sure why - but I'm hopeful

Ella is obviously a hopeful too - after all, Mika beat her opponent recently

Hev will have to be firing on all guns

Both Hev and opponent will be fine in the heat, I think


Some other interesting matches - like Emerson v Linda F , Vollynets v Samson ...

Former US Open grand slam winner, Bibi Andreescu, is playing

Last year's Junior Wimbly champion has drawn the ALT

Curious to see some other up and coming players like Costoulas, and Vandromme, and Grant

 Id definitely have more confidence if it was someone like Ella against Riera but Dani gave a respectable performance in her match at Nottingham(?) against a better player than Riera so  Im on the hopium

 

Taylah was down around 250 at the time after her ranking slipped back and Jovic won the first and third 6-1 so Im wondering if it was a teenager concentration lapse. at this point Im just trying to find reasons to be hopeful

I've arrived. Nice clouds and a breeze for the walk up. Looks like it will be court jumping for the first few matches as matches overlap. Not as busy as last year, but it's still early.
