Anne seems to have a good draw. Joko not so lucky but she is riding high after her 10kl success. Possibility of Tara V Heather in 2nd rnd seems interesting. Naomi will need to carry on her US Open quali form. Though I don't know much about Barrios' style.
Tougher field than I was expecting with Anne and heather just seeded 5 and 6. Not so good that our best two unseeded players ( Naomi and Jo ) got quite high seeds. I was hoping they might get easier looking tasks in the first round.

Welcome to the forum again. It will be interesting. I do hope that your German girls are not going to beat too many GBR girls and go away with too many points
Heather's opponent beat Laura 6-1 6-1 a couple of years ago (possibly Laura's heaviest ever defeat?), but I would certainly hope Heather will be able to comfortably avenge that result.
Hallo Indiana I would wish your hope will come true. However all GERs in (exept one or two) have the power, to win the tournament .Sorry. (we hope Sarah would do that )
Therefore, can somebody post the Result after Sarah's match?
