Week 50 - ITF ($10K) - Hong Kong, China - Hard
(Preview)
L32: Laura Deigman WR 766 v (Q) Lee Hye-Min (KOR) WR 1166 (CH 875 in 2011) A decent draw at first sight but 27-year-old Lee qualified and then made the QFs last week and the winner of this match is likely to get the 2nd seed in R2. Still, better than getting the 2nd seed in R1! -- Edited by steven on Sunday 8th o...

Mel South retires
(Preview)
Mel joins the list of brits retiring. Her career path surprised me both in terms of the highs and the lows. I thought reaching the top 100 was a superb achievement though evidently she wasn't good enough to sustain that level for any length of time. Apparently she's looking to go into coaching. http://...

Women's County Cup

Doesn't seem to be a thread for this anywhere, so ... In this year's Winter edition, the "news story" seems to be Team Surrey, which is playing in division 2A and beat its opponents by 9-0. Not surprising, given that its team includes Mel South, Stephanie Cornish, Vicky Brook, Jasmine Ambe...

Week 47 - ITF ($10K) - Castellón, Spain (Clay)
(Preview)
A relatively full qualifying draw here but not a single ranked player. Amanda Carreras was a relatively late withdrawal from the main draw. QR1: Natalie Syme UNR v Elke Tiel (NED) UNR Tiel may be unranked but has enough wins in 10K qualies to suggest this won't be easy.

Lucy should be seeded. WC's for Christie, Lumsden, Askew and Wallace. Large entry of GB players in qualifying so would hope ha...
