This has to be one of the worst fields I have ever seen
Ia gree, it's funny Maria is top seed, but good on her. However I'd love BMS to pick up her first WTA trophy, she is so long overdue a singles trophy. However I'm not sure she is where she needs to be since her surgery last year. Her singles game hasn't quite returned. I'm mark out big time if she won it though.
I cna't be arsed with individual match threads in a tournament like this, i wnat to follow all strands, as nobody else is posting match threads I'll throw some of the results in here:
Paula Kania def young Turkish-Suede Suzanne Celik 6-4, 6-1
Tomljanović def Poss Tio 7-5, 7-6
Maria def Alves 6-2, 6-3
Not after this evening she shouldn't, but for her sake, at least she scraped through. She has another potentially tricky match next round against Torro-Flor.
So only one seed fell in the first round: Chirico, who lost to Sevastova. That was not really a surprise.
EDIT: Ozaki, not Torro-Flor, who plays Maria. I keep mixing up Pereira and Maria.
