And so it begins, the bouncing of the lil yellow ball that is! Natalie will play her first round in the main draw today around three o'clock eastern time. The opponent is Ivana Lesjak (CRO), who is using a protected ranking to enter this tourney. (a protected ranking is......the ranking a player had prior to an injury)
Tomorrow, Natalie and Jackie will begin their quest for the doubles title. They are tourney ranked 364, making them the 2 seeds. They will face two friends of Natalie, Bhargave/Hibi. Who are tourney ranked 835. Should be a solid and entertaining dubs match.
There will be live scoring of Natalie's matches, here is the link:
