It's good to see Fran back - as Number 2 seed, hopefully she can get plenty of points here and get back in the top 100.

There was a really nice 2 page article on her in the sports section of the Times on Saturday, detailing how bad her injury from the leg weights falling on her was earlier in the year. It sounded as if the mechanism holding the leg weights inexplicably broke and then it hit her hard in the face and could have been so much worse, and being America, when she was rushed to hospital, queries over insurance and who was paying to treat her led to significant delays in her receiving medical attention.

I feel with all that she has been through, that she is one of the most remarkable sportspersons on the planet, never mind tennis, and every time I read about her injury travails, I am just wowed that she manages to keep going. Hopefully this tournament will kick start her season.
