Week 1 - ITF ($10K) - Guadeloupe

With just 13 ranked players on the entry list, one player in the top 500 ( ranked 301 ) and not enough players to fully make up a 32 women MD, this will probably not quite end up as the strongest $10K of the year R1 : Jennifer ALLAN UNR vs (8) Samantha POWERS ( USA ) WR 1004 -- Edited by indiana...

The Next Generation

As most of our top players have hung up their tennis trainers for the season I thought I would look at the prospects for our up and coming players for 2010. It is probably fair to say that the six players listed below are the most talented crop of younger players we have had for a generation. I feel a realist...
