Thanks for the commentary kundalani. I was half asleep reading through it and thought she had lost first set!

Do we think Heather and/or Jo/Harriet will be in the doubles draw?

Quoting myself, the answer is no which surprises me, at least in Heather's case.

Heather needs to get to Hobart for qualifying so wouldn't play doubles here in case it interferes

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

The doubles is very strong here. The cut off for the Advance List was a CR of 63 and the 2 on site doubles ranking entries having CRs of 65 and 66. Heather would have needed to have teamed up with someone in the top 20 to make the draw. Voskoboeva is the only player lower ranked than Heather that is in the draw who entered with their doubles ranking and she only made the draw because she teamed up with Mladenovic.

What a start fo the year for Harriet and a lovely 1st round draw. More than reward if she can take it for the fantastic wins in qualifying.

If Harriet wins her R1 match her next opponent will be Daria Gavrilova (AUS) 35 or 8th seed Anastasija Sevastova(LAT) 11. Harriet played Sevastova earlier this year losing 3 & 4.
