Heather has withdrawn. Not a big surprise.

Katie will play a qualifier, Jodie has Jacquemot.

Elsa J is 19, just out of juniors, and won Roland Garros juniors

She is obviously one of, if not THE, great hope of French women's tennis and has had all the help possible along the way.

Tall, slightly gangly girl - wallops the ball - but a little unpredictable - will be very interesting to see how her and Jodie match up

For reasons I can't quite work out, Emily seems to have been removed from the WTA singles rankings today, despite having half a dozen counters still. 714 is her ITF ranking.

OER are showing just two counters, a 6 and a 3. Going back a couple of weeks and it shows she also had a 10 and a 1 due to drop on 17/10

It's because I am still old school and didn't realise 25k round 1s don't give you a point any more!

Oh boo. Looks to have been a competitive one. There's always next week but that would have been a useful 21 points with a 40 coming off a week on Monday.

To be honest, I was a bit doubtful if it would be that close, even though the rankings are so similar. I couldn't find a stream to watch it though, but the stats look fairly close.
