And a winnable match against Vesnina tomorrow.

Mel wins 6-0 6-2!!

[RalfDweflywex]

Mel wins 6-0 6-2!!

Nice for her to get some actual results again. It was getting kinda embarrassing.

[RalfDweflywex]

Sooo... I was kinda hoping someone else would mention it, but I have to ask...

Zheng Jie had to go through qualifying for this field? Isn't she fairly well ranked? Or did I really miss something where she fell far?
