In Cancun this week Emilie faces a Polish player in the first round, and teams up with the same person in the doubles. Tanysha is shown as having a WC in the MD, not sure why as she was first on the q list, but ends up with the 3rd seed regardless, which gives her little chance of winning a round unfortunately...

Can only see the OOP so far, but have wholly unranked QR1 opponents, and as they are in the top 6 seeds, will presumably also have lower ranked FQ...

Just one q round but not the easiest draws for Graziella and Alisha to earn one of the 8 q places in the MD. Graziella especially, as she plays Margaux Orange, who has a former WTA ranking. This is the first time for me to see Ms Reayer, I must admit. FQR: Graziella BARRETT (GBR) UNR/UNR vs Margaux ORANGE...
