FQR: (q4) Eden Silva WR 1236 v Milica Novakovic (SRB) UNR (17-y-o junior WR 755)

Eden breaks a 7-match singles losing streak in ITFs (stretching back to late July/early August) to qualify

FQR: (q4) Eden Silva WR 1236 beats Milica Novakovic (SRB) UNR (17-y-o junior WR 755) by 3 & 1

And in the MD:

Eden plays Laura D - we normally groan when the UK players get drawn against each other but, for these two, a point will be REALLY welcome (and v hard to come by) so at least one of them will get one.

Dasha gets the unranked Indian WC, Rohira who had barely won a match in living memory, so come on Dasha !!!

and Farah (with a WC) gets LM Huber, about WR 800, which is not bad as draws go, all the same,

L32: Danielle Konotoptseva WR 800 v (WC) Tanisha Rohira (IND) UNR
L32: (WC) Farah Abdelaziz UNR v Luisa Marie Huber (GER) WR 784 (CH 778 in Nov)
L32: Laura Deigman WR 762 v (Q) Eden Silva WR 1233

Rohira has lost her last 21 matches in 10Ks (including 10K qualifying) so Dasha will never get a better chance to end her own losing streak!

Surely Dasha is good enough to win. Farah out first round. Like to see Eden win the other match

Surely Dasha must break that losing streak this week.

Laura should beat Eden

Having seen Farah play, there is no way she will beat a WTA ranked player yet unless she has improved drastically.

TomTraubert · Futures level

in dubs laura & eden lost 2 & 1
farah and partner lost 0 & 3

danielle is actually playing doubles! she most often dont
any way she is a set down 2-1* in the second

steven · Tennis legend

I saw Farah had won 5 games and thought doing that against a top 800 player must make it one of her better results. Then I realised Huber had pulled out.

L32: (WC) Farah Abdelaziz UNR lost to (LL) Milica Novakovic (SRB) UNR by 2 & 3

TomTraubert · Futures level

danielle and partner won the second set but lost the mtb to the 3 seeds [5-10]

And with a rousing chorus from above:

L32: Danielle Konotoptseva WR 800 def. (WC) Tanisha Rohira (IND) UNR 6-1 6-1

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Dishing out your own bread-sticks is quite an ironic way to end your own drought

Well done Danielle. Now to find that purple patch form from last year.

L16: Danielle Konotoptseva WR 800 v (7) Madrie le Roux (RSA) WR 644 (= CH)

steven · Tennis legend

Eden is serving for the 1st set against Laura but there have been more breaks than holds so far (5 to 4) so ...

steven · Tennis legend

... and breaks take the 1st set 6-4, but the real 1st set continues with Laura serving at *5-5
