Indoors that's probably trickier, although Doing blows very hot and cold.

I notice that Dodin retired in her FQ match. I still can't believe it's possible to get a LL spot when you fail to complete your previous match. Surely that's one rule the WTA should be urgently reviewing?

 I understand your point but do we want to make players limp through the rest of their match, or carry on when they're patently ill, because they know they have to in order to be in LL contention? Some will have retired because they've got an upset stomach which will be fine the next day and it's not necessarily great to effectively make them carry on playing.

Harriet on the doubles court. Horrid start, but they started playing well and won the opener 6-4

L16:- Harriet Dart (GBR) / Monica Niculescu (ROU) CR150 (98+52) def Jaqueline Cristian (ROU) / Elena-Gabriela Ruse (ROU) CR278 (196+82) 6-4 5-7 10-5

They will play the winners of the match that follows them on the same court.

A chance to progress further, although their opponents put out the #3 seed in a MTB

QF:- Harriet Dart (GBR) / Monica Niculescu (ROU) CR150 (98+52) v Viktorija Golubic (SUI) / Xonyun Han (CHN) CR194 (113+81)
