Per my comment above - this is on the LTA site. Why no mention of Sofia as a Brit?
Qualifying: 11 Brits in bumper first round qualifying action
The Lexus Eastbourne Open is finally here, with plenty of home talent getting their bid for a spot in the main draw underway.
Wins came in for Toby Samuel who secured a confident victory over Frenchman Quentin Halys, winning 6-2, 6-4. Tomorrow he faces a stern challenge in the form of Roland Garros semi-finalist Matteo Arnaldi.
Hamish Stewart came back from a set down to beat Emilio Nava 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 and will take on Aleksandar Vukic in the final round tomorrow.
Giles Hussey moved past James Duckworth 6-4, 6-4 and will play Argentina's Marco Trungelliti tomorrow.
However, it wasn't to be for Alastair Gray, Harry Wendelken, Felix Gill, Mimi Xu, Emily Appleton and Indianna Spink, who all exited in the first round of qualifying.
I know she is a Brit but it seems strange they are also making a mistake about it in their website
Tbf they haven't mentioned Broom or Choinski either. It looks like it was written early evening and missed the late matches. That said, they could have missed Sofia since there were 12, not 11 Brits in qualifying today.

It was the fact she was showing on some scores sites as American also that made me name her as the missing 12th player.
And missed three break back points too. She's competing well but lacking the little bit of quality she needs to close out some of these points and games. Not a million miles away but this could start to get away from her at *2-4
Down break point but finally finds some good rhythm on her serve to win 3 cheap points and hold. Just needs to keep in touch here and not lose her head.
Hannah breaks back to level it at 5-5, she showed great fight to save more break points and then get the break on her 3rd or 4th chance. Just wish she was landing some more first serves
