Here are the QR1 draws, as originally indicated by Andy. I've left out any H2Hs for the time being. They are mostly favourable, few complaints here... QR1: Heather WATSON (GBR) [q8] 110 vs Mariam BOLKVADZE (GEO) 201=CHQR1: Naiktha BAINS (GBR) 235 vs Jana CEPELOVA (SVK) 158 (CH:50 May 14)QR1: Harrie...
Emily Arb in qualifying here, and Mandy C should be a high seed in the MD. Not a good q draw for Emily though as she will likely play Cemre Anil (TUR) [q1] WR 878 in the FQR. Q2 is WR1037, so some way the worst draw she could have, but she should still have a good chance to qualify. Anil won't like seeing her in he...
There are two Grade 1 events before the US Open, one in the US and one in Canada.

The National championships start on Monday (Tuesday for the under 16s) with the under 12s on clay in Bournemouth and the rest at Nottingham on hard court.

It looks as though Billy Harris has made the main draw alongside Ryan Peniston: the QR1 OoP is out & the q1 was two places below him in the acceptance list.
QR1: (q3) Sizya Kivanda WR 1698 (ITF 1458) vs BYE QR1: David Ramalho (POR) UNR vs (q11) Alexander Romay UNR (ITF 1984) QR1: (q7) Adam Jones UNR (ITF 1526) vs Ewen Lumsden UNR (ITF 2563) QR1: Valentin de Carvalho (POR) UNR (ITF 2902) vs (q12) Llewelyn Bevan UNR (ITF 2064) It looks as though Stuart Par...
Sam has arrived in China following her victory at Chiswick. She is not seeded, which I'm surprised at since she was 8th on the acceptance list, but she has a qualifier first up, so won't complain. R32: Samantha MURRAY (GBR) 303 vs QUALIFIER
QR1: Jaime Bendeck (HON - ITF; USA - ATP!) UNR (CH = 1580 in April) vs (q12) Jack Gibbens WR 1936 (CH = 1895 at the start of this month) Isaac Stoute should be in the main draw.
So just to say, I have realised I have spent WAYYYYY too much time on here in recent weeks/months and to that extent my work has probably suffered and certainly I know I need to pull back. That isnt going to happen over Wimbledon and I plan to keep on my grass court wins lists through to the bitter end but, af...

Another first round match that Naomi should win on paper but probably won't on the court. But boy, could she do with some points, even a small handful would be something for a start... QR1: Naomi BROADY (GBR) [q10] 384 vs Ashley KRATZER (USA) 475 (CH:200 Aug 18)
OK. So I am not really into the modern trend of Reality TV and Talent shows. Most of them make me cringe, at best. But whilst I have been over here in Brazil, I have got into X Factor USA, mainly because it is one of the only shows that is in English and subtitled rather than dubbed. The vast majority of the co...
