Well, Emilie LG has popped up here this week in search of her 3rd counter. Can't say it's a great choice coz she ain't going to get it unless she plays lights out. She's likely to have to beat the Q1 seed WR 426 9n QR2, whereas to get that counter, she'd have done better to have gone across to Portugal where th...

At least they avoid Ksenia Lykina early this week, who is in the bottom half of the draw. Laura is missing as noted in the Wuhan thread, but Kat...

And two matches to get that far. Freya, in contrast, has an easier draw this week (having lost to Lissey in last week's qualifyi...
