QR1: (qWC) Paula San Jose Menendez (ESP) UNR vs (q11) Emily Appleton WR 420

Looks like Emily will need to find a new partner for the doubles as her and Julia Lohoff have withdrawn after Julias injury this week.

Wow. Leylah Fernandez has taken a WC here. Her first ITF since 2019.

Perhaps Emily could ask if she'd be her doubles partner. biggrin

Emily showing the canniness of entering better events in singles (which if they then also fit your dubs aspirations, even better)

She'll get 4 points if she wins this match, yes?

And the Spanish girl is miles off the level; she looks not much more than decent club standard

 The poor Spanish girl really was not a pro player

You could see that Emily was just hitting the ball back to her, quite gently, at times, sort of to be nice.

But great for Emily App who is now nearly into the top-400 in singles. Which would be a nice achievement. And counting....

There are a few decent doubles players in the singles main draw - I'm sure Emily can find a decent partner. (My apologies for not posting doubles info - I'm travelling in Spain for 2 weeks so limited access).
