Two qual rounds. A tough match for Emily first up, but Sofia, her doubles partner, beat Radwanska last week, so Emily will be hoping to emulate her. QR1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) 477 vs Urszula RADWANSKA (POL) [q3] 264 (CH:29 Oct 12)
As Super T noted, Gabi has received a WC to stay in Turkey this week, which is why she hasn't appeared in Nantes! Also suggests her retirement from last week's final wasn't too bad an issue. R32: Gabriella TAYLOR (GBR) [WC] [1] 376 vs Alina MICHALITSCH (AUT) [Q] UNR/2081
With all respect to our Scottish posters on this forum, but wasn't that Japan-Scotland match just amazing????? You can't stop smiling for Japan - a superb show so far, and a superb match today. And given what they've put with in the last 48 hours.....

Although this a Grade 2 most of the top boys have stayed on from last week's Grade A. That combined with a ranking drop mean that Harry Wendelken has a similar seeding.

Just waiting for the singles MD to appear on my laptop, but have the doubles draw now. Sam and Bibiane Schoofs (NED) are top seeds and play a Canadian WC pair Tara and Emina are 3rd seeds and play another Canadian pair.
Staying in Texas, Lissey and Emily App appear to have made the MD together with Katie S and Jodie, since the top q seed was below them in the q draw. Hope Jodie is ok this week too.
Again, there are SO many Brits here at this event that it seems to warrant its own thread: R1 BOYS: Oliver RICHARDS (GBR) 6-0 6-4 Andrej JOVANOVIC (SRB) (Q) Daniel ABERNETHY (GBR) 5-7 6-4 6-2 Pablo TROCHU (FRA) [6] Alexander KNOX JONES (GBR) [5] 6-0 6-0 (WC) Mohamme...
