Qualifying draw:
(1)Elena Baltacha vs (wc)Julia Boserup
No sign of Katie - anyone know what's wrong? Hope she's ok, was looking forward to her playing here to see if she could regain her form.
Bally 5th on, so a late one. |

Should HOPEFULLY be a simple opener for Bally but fingers crossed all the same Probably couldn't have asked for a better opening draw...
Unless she got that... American girl... the one who gets double bagelled all the time... you know the one. The... girl... yeah.
I know who I mean. That's all that matters!

Boserup beat Mel a couple of weeks ago so can play, but Elena is operating at a totally different level these days and you'd think she should be ok to win that one handily.
Anne K is in the main draw and plays Chakvetadze in the 1st round. Winner to play Agnieszka Radwanska. |

Elena wins 2-6 6-4 6-4 thought it would have been a bit easier than that,but a win is a win |

Unless Annie can make the QFs looks like we're back to 1 GBTG in the world top 100 with Katie dropping to #103 on Steven's provisional list 
Go, Annie & Bally 
Steven has Bally playing Bychkova (ranked #109) at c. 22.30 GMT

Thought that point at 30-30 was taking a long time! On refreshing my screen Bally had broken again! 
And now she's held to love 
4-1*
