KEY POINTS:
Sacha Jones has had another chance at the US$50,000 tennis tournament in Boston. Kiwi Jones, 16, lost in the final round of qualifying in the third set to a Russian.
However, three players eventually pulled out of the main draw through injury, giving Jones a place in the first round of the tournament.
She lost 6-2, 6-1 to 163rd-ranked Angelika Bachmann, but will gain extra ranking points, improving her position of 579.
