Emilie has migrated to Spain this week (well North Africa to be specific, since that's where this enclave is located). This field is very weak, so if she can win through and gain a draw against anyone but the top 3 seeds, she should have a good chance of finally getting her last counter. And no, you fates,...
Wildcards are discussed on another thread, which generates as much heat as light. Seedings bother me more. I guess, because I am naturally in favour of the plucky underdog; also because I pay less attention to James Ward, just outside the GS DAs, than to Hev, just outside the GS seedings. Grotesquel...
this is just random musings, but i have been thinking about how few worldclass tennis players we have and at the moment the answer is just 1, but then i started to think how many world class sports people we have in this country in general, and is it just the way tennis is played at pro level that makes it sta...
I'll add to this on a random basis: In 2017 GB Women: 112 - Active GB Women (played at least one pro match) 980 - Entries by GB Women in a tournament (1 player in 1 tournament Q or MD = 1 entry) 366 - Unique Events entered (>1 Entry still counts as one unique event) 54 - Different countries in which a GB woman...
QR1: Isaac Stoute WR 860 (CH = 846 last month) vs (q5) Tobias Simon (GER) WR 446 (CH = 415 in February) No doubt Simon will eat Isaac for breakfast, but good on him for giving it a go. Dino & Evo should be in the main draw, the latter as top seed, but given that he's been called up for the DC, I assu...
Kyle has drawn Paulo Lorenzi in R1. So relieved he didn't draw Andy again. Edit The other seed in Kyle's section is Jack Sock. Bedene in in there too. -- Edited by Bob in Spain on Friday 24th of August 2018 07:35:10 AM
Quite a large Brit contingent here: QR1: Álvaro Montuano (ESP) UNR v Russell Henderson UNR QR1: Thomas Hulme (UNR) vs Alejandro Moya (ESP) UNR QR1: Jesús Echevarri (ESP) UNR vs James Allemby UNR (CH = 2052 in September 2015) QR1: Mason Recci UNR (CH = 1547 in October 2016) vs Andrew Alexander Wats...
Emilie Lindh, now without the Gallagher, begins her latest attempt to gain a single further counter and hence a ranking. In what was billed originally as a 62 person qualifying draw, such is the lack of final entries that she will only need to win one match to qualify, and hence two matches to pick up a po...
Dan Evans is playing here but didn't quite make the main draw, but he's the top seed in qualis: QR1: (q1) Dan Evans (GBR) WR 224 - BYE -- Edited by Coup Droit on Sunday 2nd of September 2018 06:36:17 AM
L32: Bethanie Mattek-Sands (USA) & Jamie Murray CR 90 (83 [but has been as high as 1]+7) vs (WC) Amanda Anisimova & Michael Mmoh (USA/USA) CR 2030 (1174+856)
Q1: JANSEN FIGUERAS, Helena (GBR) UNR v KALAVA, Likhitha (IND) UNR Anna Popescu was listed in the qualifiers but has now been moved into the last place in the main draw.-- Edited by indiana on Saturday 15th of September 2018 12:33:48 AM

QR1: Rohan Sikka UNR vs Michael Pawlowicz (CAN) UNR QR1: (q7) Charles Broom WR 1155 (CH = 1067 in July) vs Kyle Johnson (USA) UNR Lloyd Glasspool (seeded), Jack Findel-Hawkins & Josh Paris should be in the main draw.
Yes, the WTA are still calling it a $125K Series Challenger event, despite the premium on this events prize money. No Hev. Unless she is injured, or has some other pressing issue that necessitates absence, I find that her not playing here is a rather questionable decision. R32 Katie BOULTE...
