If Jodie wins she is seeded to play Ana Konjuh. Ana was a promising player who won Nottingham in 2015 as a 17 year old. This has proved to be her only WTA singles  title as she has had many injury problems since then.

 With the issues Konjuh has had she is currently WR 651 and a WC. If Jodie wins her QR1 she will play Konjuh or (q4) Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva (AND) WR 156, 19 yo, JCH 1.

Yes, that was in the SF in October - quite early in Jodie's comeback. It is the only time they have met surprisingly as Mariam has played over here quite a lot.

Still a few regulars who haven't entered the predictions competitions yet. Get your entry in - the more the merrier !

QR1:- Jodie Burrage (GBR) WR179 [9] def Mariam Bolkvadze (GEO) WR209 2-6 7-6(4) 6-3

*****

FQR:- Jodie Burrage (GBR) WR179 [9] v Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva (AND) WR 156 (19 yo, JCH 1) [Q4]

*****

L32:- Emma Raducanu (GBR) WR57 (CH10) [6] v Robin Montgomery (USA) WR117 (CH105)

Well done Jodie on what looked like a battle. Our first points scorer of the season.

Rubbish performance from Jodie. Had chances in so many of Victoria's service games yet could never get a break. Gave away her own serve without Jimenez Kasintseva having to do much beyond get the ball back a few times. Victoria defended impressively at times and demonstrated good length when she needed to. In contrast, Jodie's routine groundstrokes often landed just long.
