Dudeney wins epic as British trio march on in Wrexham

Burrage ensured there would be three British players in action on Friday by beating fourth seed Noma Noha Akugue 6-1 7-6 (11-9).

She will next play Marina Bassols Ribera, the fifth seed, following the Spanish star's victory over Australian Lizette Cabrera.

There was a big upset elsewhere as top seed Anna Blinkova, the French player currently 72 in the world rankings, fell at the second-round stage as she lost 6-3 6-2 against Suzan Lamens from the Netherlands.

The form of the British trio has helped bolster home fans after reigning champion Mimi Xu, from Swansea, opted not to defend her title this year, instead competing at the W75 Saguenay tournament in Canada.
