Only EWS in qualifying this week - and she has just one match to get through and to earn at least one point. That means both Eden and Beth have made the MD. Unfortunately she plays a useful junior player, and she doesn't fare so well these days against such players QR1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) [q3] 517 vs...
Just curious how come we havent been able to send a GB women out to the Olympics? Just seen that on the men's side someone with a WR of 1048 is now in the draw, as is Loglo. How do they select who enters?
Mandy's presence in Tunisia this week is confirmed. Her push now to get into ITF reserved places for upcoming W25 clay tournaments R32: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) [6] UNR/90 vs QUALIFIER
Of all the golf events, this is the one I hold at the same level as say Wimbledon in tennis. Albeit not sure I like much of what goes on around Augusta and the attitudes in terms of diversity, lets leave it at that as it clearly is unacceptable in this day and age. Anyway, Iain Carter writes in the BBC website...
Amelia having another go. Emily App should be in the MD. There are only 4 QR1 matches to be played, and these plus all the FQR matches are due tomorrow. QR1: Amelia STUART (GBR) [q7] UNR/875 vs BYE
L32: (3) Kyle Edmund WR 22 (CH = 14 last August) vs Ugo Humbert (FRA) WR 63 (= CH) Kyle was the second seed here last year, but lost out in the final to the unranked Pablo Andújar by 2 & 2. Zverev is on a wild card & is the top seed.
L32: Henry Craig (USA) ITF 270 (ATP UNR, but a CH of 599 last August) vs (PR) Julian Cash ITF 1615 (ATP UNR, but a CH of 935 in December 2017) L32: Isaac Stoute ITF 446 (ATP UNR) vs (8) Lorenzo Frigerio (ITA) ITF 273 (ATP 632)

A complete bus load of young Brits are here this week - five boys and TEN girls: BOYS R1 (L64)Oliver RICHARDS (GBR) 6-1 6-2 Neo NIEDNER (GER)Joel PIERLEONI (GBR) [4] 6-4 7-6(4) Maikel DE BOES (BEL)Harry LAZELL (GBR) [16] 6-0 6-2 Alessandro D'ANNA (ITA)Constantino...
Those of you who read my various scribes on here will no doubt remember that I have on occasions waxed lyrical about the facilities and the set up at the La Manga Club. The facilities remain unchanged but there has been a notable change in another way. James Rose, who had spent several years there and wa...
QR1: BYE vs (qWC/q10) Joshua Rose UNR (CH = 1643 in June 2017) (ITF 2025) ***** FQR: (q5) Joseph Imeh Ubon (NGR) UNR (CH = 1415 in December 2016) (ITF 1247) vs (qWC/q10) Joshua Rose UNR (ITF 2025)
L16: (1) Erik Crepaldi & Jakub Paul (ITA/SUI) CR 376 (239+137) (ATP CR 1159 [723+436]) vs Anurag Nenwani (IND) & Stuart Parker UNR (759+0) (ATP UNR [825+0]) I think Stuart must have sneaked into the singles main draw.
So here is the thing - I am 53 years old now and love my work, but I expected that by my age I would have seen everything and learnt not to be disappointed by how things dont always turn out the way you want! I went to see a client in November and after a couple of discussions talking them through various pro...
L48: Qualifier vs Jan Choinski WR 267 (CH = 234 last April) The winner of that encounter will face the Swedish 14th seed, Mikael Ymer, in the last 32, so not a bad draw (if Jan wins!).
