I guess all eyes will be on Emma Raducanu (3) how she will go in this tournament,she will play Hercog tomorrow.
( Emma is still looking for a full time coach).

Emma started well in the 1st set was up 4-1 and then lost control of her shots and did not play with margin at all,Paula fought back and won the 1st set 64.Closer 2nd set which Emma won 7-5, Paula had her chances in the 2nd set her serve went AWOL when she needed it the most..Onto a deciding set Paula's level dropped considerably in the 3rd set,Emma played much better with margin and won.
Raducanu d Hercog 46 75 61
