Britain's home contingent got the boost it wanted at the Lexus Wrexham Open, with Jodie Burrage and Alicia Dudeney leading the way on day two. Both players won their opening matches and moved into the second round.
Burrage and Dudeney carried the home hopes in north Wales, and both delivered when it counted. Their wins showed the composure and sharpness needed to survive the opening round of a tightly packed draw, where one slip can end a week's work.
For Dudeney, advancing is a welcome step forward on the circuit, where each round won brings ranking points and confidence. For Burrage, a seasoned competitor on the British scene, another round is another chance to build momentum in front of a supportive home crowd.
