Week 34 - US Open qualifying (women's)
Permalink  

QR1: Naomi Broady WR 230 v (wc) Robin Anderson (USA) WR 736 (CH 735 last week)

QR1: Laura Robson WR 173 v Heidi el Tabakh (CAN) WR 200 (CH 149 in 2010)

18yo Anderson won a 10K in May & beat Laura 3&2 in USO girls last year, while el Tabakh beat Hev last Nov but has lost her last 4 matches.

Seeds in each section are (22) Chang (TPE) & (7) Foretz Gacon (FRA) in Naomi's, (11) Parra Santonja (ESP) & (31) Cadanu (ROU) in Laura's.

First thought is that those draws could have been a lot worse!

Yes could have been alot tougher.
Have to say Anderson will be very tricky and might start the fractional favourite having been in good form the last couple of weeks. She earned the right to get this QWC by winning a playoff tournament very recently. Naomi needs to use her power and keep the rallies short.

As for Laura, I'd like to think she could win that one but then it gets alot tougher.

 I would make Robin a clear favourite, considering Naomi's lack of form and experience of foreign grand slams. They are on 4th on court 7 with the first 2 matches already completed. Laura is 3rd on court 13, with the match before it in its early stages

Amazed that you can get even money on Anderson - Given the run she has had recently

And the match preceding Laura's is trying quite hard to go to 3 sets

Windy in New York.
Townsend just about to upset Parra Santonja, so Naomi could be on before Laura.

Indeed. Naomi should start soon. Hopefully the No 2 seed Capdeville will get his act together and now whizz though the third set so Laura doesn't have to wait much longer.

I don't much like the sound of 'windy'.

Could end up playing Townsend--who is more than 2 years younger than Laura--so big opportunity here.

I think the wind is likely to be a problem for both Brits as it negates both our girls strengths, and with Laura's slightly dodgy ball toss not good news.

There is a hurricane heading from the Caribbean up the east coast of USA, it's expected to reach New York in the early hours of Sunday morning.
