Doubles

L16:- Lyudmyla Kitchenok (UKR) / Erin Routliffe (NZL) CR14 (11+3) [1] v Jodie Burrage (GBR) / Sonay Kartal (GBR) UNR (240+UNR) [WC]
L16:- Xinyu Jiang (CHN) / Fang-Hsien Wu (TPE) CR58 (28+30) v Katie Boulter (GBR) / Emma Raducanu (GBR) UNR (450+UNR)

L16:- Tereza Mihalikova (SVK) / Olivia Nicholls (GBR) CR66 (34+32) v Ellen Perez (AUS) / Shuai Zhang (CHN) CR27 (15+12) [3]

$7,970 per team for making the draw, $13k and 108 points for a first round win. Liv and Tereza need to reach the semifinal to cover their 163 drop from Hertogenbosch last year (but both have 108 point non-counters)

Im going for the first time on Monday (first ever event in fact for me)

Any hints and tips appreciated :)


 Well I've never been to Queens sadly, so no specific tips,  but have been to  quite a few  tournies   big and small.  Looks like weather going to be good for you.   I think Queens is quite smart but  be comfortable - take hat and shades (though you might jinx the sun). Bag or small rucksack with your life essentials, your own food and drink unless you want to queue  and pay  high prices.  There will be a bag check at entrance though I expect.  I don't think it will be as crowded as the mens' event which by all accounts is rammed.  Sorry can't be more help, but am envious to tell the truth.  This year will only be Nottingham for me which has it's own charms and quirks.......... Oh and of course watching live is  just such a great experience.

Alycia Parks (Q1) lost again, continuing her poor recent form.Beat Muchova at RG but otherwise lost every match bar one since Miami.


 Think anyone can beat Muchova at the moment. Protecting a wrist injury that might need surgery and hitting her backhand as a single handed shot. So tough for her

The draw took place on the London Eye - have a look at the new trophy


 It was a nice touch to put the winners of the old women's tournament on the new trophy.
