Great match good fighting from both Min was 0-3 down in third just fell short, like both players cannot wait to see them progress and Jana gave a lovely courtside interview

Wait, didn't Grace Min win the junior US Open last year? Shouldn't she had been given a main draw WC?

Jana was dreadful today
but she got thru

No
you only are given a qual WC by right but she didnt need one.
Only Wimbledon gives a MD WC cos they got no GB players to give them to.

 

[Daebak.]

Why didn't they give her a WC?

 

[ptkten]

I didn't realize how much of a ballbasher Grace is. She's like Cibulkova out there.

jana was so bad today but she fought well. Hopefully she can qualify because i think she'll make top 100 with the points from qualifying + first round

They gave one to Coco Vandeweghe the year after she won the US Open, and I'm sure she's not the only case

I heard that the USTA wasn't happy that Townsend, Keys, and Min didn't play at the Girls' 18 Nationals, the tournament that awards the winner a MDWC (this is how Vicky Duval got in)

People at the USTA center in Boca told me that the USTA didn't let them play that tournament

 

[Umami]

Both had a shot at qualifying. Bad draw for both .

still its not an automatic thing, its still a choice of the USTA

 

[Drake1980]

Awesome!

 

[Suckmila.]

Min should lose some weight

Nope, she won girls junior in 2008 and got a QWC in 2009. She did get a MWC in 2008
