Lauren Knew that was going to be a tough ask...I've seen both of them, and Su-Wei has a stronger game. pffffffff, worst possible draw

I hope she can get used of this.

What happened to Ayami? I doubt it had anything to do with Nana's tennis.
Not another injury for Kaori...
Too bad Su-Wei & Kyung-Mi had to face each other this early.
