Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage fared better – the former drawing France’s Diane Parry and the latter American Caty McNally.

Top seed Iga Swiatek takes on China’s Zhu Lin, while two standout draws saw wildcards Venus Williams and Elina Svitolina paired together, and Coco Gauff taking on former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin.
