Strange to see Fran by herself here, and not in Spain with the other girls.
I think it's because she's more of a clay courter than the others, though she's had a tough time of it on this little tour of SE Europe, facing no. 3 seeds in R1 two of the 3 weeks and Wacanno, who went on to reach the semis, in the middle week.
The Madrid event is a hard court event, which probably explains why it's not quite as popular as other 10Ks with the Spanish girls.
