Freya and Lissey are both in the qualifying draw. Really annoyingly, with 8 places available, they are drawn to meet each other in the FQR, so at best only one of them can qualify Both will play a Korean in QR2 QR1: Freya CHRISTIE (GBR) [q1] 521 vs BYE QR1: Alicia BARNETT (GBR) [q10] 645 vs BYE

Very much saddened and shocked to hear of the passing of Jana Novotna from cancer at the age of 49. A lovely player and person. Remembered especially fondly here for her determination, frailty and humanity in exploits at Wimbledon; and, of course, triumphing over it all in glorious fashion in 1998. S...
Well, I guess Emilie has made some progress this week, because for next week she gets a bye in QR1! There are only 4 QR1 matches, the rest are byes. Amelia gets one too, and Nell Miller should be back in the MD again. So two wins needed for Emilie this week to get a ranking... QR1: Amelia STUART (GBR) vs BYE Q...
Joe Cooper has swapped Nigeria for Uganda: QR1: Mehluli Don Ayanda Sibanda (ZIM) UNR vs Jamie Simon Caprice (???) UNR QR1: Nathan Lavanchy (SUI) UNR vs George Loffhagen UNR QR1: Joe Cooper UNR vs (qWC) Duncan Mugabe (UGA) UNR (CH = 659 in November 2009)
Just two Brits in the highest Grade event this week, though half-Brit Joanna Garland is the top girls seed. Boys R1 (L48) Evzen Holis (CZE) v Jake Hersey Girls R1 (L32) Destinee Martins v Isabella Tcherkes Zade (ITA)
Starting a separate thread because of the number of Brits in the draw & to spare Jaggy's super-sensitive feelings! L16: (1) Scott Clayton & Jonny O'Mara CR 263 (127+136) vs Hiroki Moriya & Kaichi Uchida (JPN/JPN) CR 1314 (932+382) L16: (PR) Lloyd Glasspool & James Ward UNR (123...

Em will start her qualifying matches tomorrow, QR1 and QR2 both being scheduled. I'm slightly surprised Emily is here when there were some very light field 25k events in Europe - she would probably have got into the main draw in Tbilisi, which is a lovely city too. Here at Gifu, she will have to beat high...
