:GBR Lauren Williams and Aaliyah Powell having one more roll of the dice as they attempt to qualify for Paris. Both are entered into the Qualifying Tournament for the Grand Slam Champions Series Final. They need to reach the quarter finals in order to progress to the Grand Slam Champions Series Final. 

 

Williams is the 6th seed and will face 27th seed :RUS Arina Sagayadachnaya in the round of 32. If she comes through that, she will probably face :CHN 11th seed Junhong Liu.

 

Powell has been a bit unfortunate with her draw as she is up against 4th seed Cecilia Castro Burgos of :ESP in the round of 32.

Bad look for Powell, who arguably has the form to come through the whole process. ~Are they both fighting at the weight between Jones and McGowan?

:clap:Very cagey and low scoring first fight from :GBR Powell but she overcomes Castro Burgos to make it to the round of 16. 

 

Williams also makes it through - but it was messy and resembled wrestling towards the end. She only won the second round when her opponent picked up her 5th Gam-Jeom. 

 

Based on their first bouts, Powell looks to have strongest chance to get through to the Series Final. 

 

Now I might try and catch some sleep before the afternoon session.
