Be interesting to see if Harriet makes the trip (she withdrew from doubles as she was originally supposed to play with Karamoko again who repaired).
Given the field, Eden/Freya and EWS (whose opponents are a pair made up of the highest ranked doubles player and highest ranked singles player in the draw) have been pretty unlucky.

TNNS is showing Kobori and Plipuech in the round two draw. But no score showing on the result of the match with Freya and Eden. They are also showing them as on the schedule for tomorrow still.
Might be a software error or maybe Eden and Freya have pulled out?
There's been a lot of rain so matches are delayed. Freya, Eden, Jodie and Emily have all posted on Insta from Chennai. The WTA website shows 5 first round singles matches scheduled for today. No scores shown for Freya and Eden on the draw.

TNNS must have had a glitch in their software then! Not unusual!
Jodie missed four break points at 1-1* in the second, was immediately broken, broke back, did excellently to save *0-40 only to be undone by some shocking footwork to be broken anyway, and is giving off the sort of body language you would normally find in an orange ball tournament
Gets tight. Can't land a first serve. Is two points away at *30-30 but a soft point gives the Indian an opening down the line, then Jodie steers a backhand wide.
5-4*
She needs to understand it does need to be great, or even very good, just good enough. But she tends to swing from over pressing to finding the balance to being too safe. Both girls starting to feel the humidity too.
Should be a routine hold at *40-15 but she sends a short angle backhand wide, then stops because she thinks the Indian has gone long, no call from the computer and then the Indian hits a drop shot. She's bent double and really struggling physically but it's her own fault she didn't wrap this up half an hour ago.
