Thats a great result for Katie, was worried about her drawing Andreeva and she could really use the points as this week one of her Australian titles drops off
There are no points dropping on WTA this week.
It looks as if she will get an unseeded player in R2 and if she gets that far the 3rd seed in the QF and top seed in the SF.
