A strong field for the Italian GA event, and Jacob Fearnley will have his work cut out against a seeded clay court specialist, though it is the Argeninian's first ITF tournament since early March R1 (L64) (14) Facundo Diaz Acosta (ARG) v Jacob Fearnley
In the interests of making sure there is some sort of thread to record this, just to note Dom Inglot is playing here this week with Frank Skugor again. Playing Demoliner and Gonzalez in round one, on court as I type in fact.
Ok, so we do a fair bit of linguistic navel-gazing on this site so I thought I would throw out this: I seem to be the only person who goes for 'qualis' - everyone else (here and on twitter) is a fan of 'qualies'. Now, I'm not sure if there's a right answer here but my reasoning is: If qualifications ever gets s...
Only the doubles main draw out at the moment: L16: Jonathan Eysseric (FRA) & Joe Salisbury CR 171 (81+90) vs Sander Arends & Adil Shamasdin (NED/CAN) CR 145 (69+76) L16: Federico Delbonis & Nicolás Kicker (ARG/ARG) CR 550 (193+357) vs Kyle Edmund & Cameron Norrie UNR (0 [but a CH o...
Anna is back with Xenia Knoll and they are the top seeds. R16: Anna Smith/Xenia Knoll (Sui) [1] 117 vs Irani Falconi (USA)/Michaela Honcova (Svk) 478 NB: Rankings are provisional.
All the GB women have managed to avoid each other first round this week. BUT they are all in the top half of the draw and will potentially meet in all the next rounds. At least they avoid Ksenia Lykina early this week, who is in the bottom half of the draw. Laura is missing as noted in the Wuhan thread, but Kat...
Not wholly clear what is happening here this week. On the acceptance list Amelia Stuart, Emma Raducanu and Emile Lind Gallagher should all have been in the qualifying draw. In the end though in a rather abbreviated draw, it is only Emma that appears, and she will have to win just one match to get into the...
Emily is the top seed in qualifying here, so has just missed out on the main draw. However, her path to the MD looks relatively smooth. She will have to play two matches but none of her potential opponents are ranked. QR1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) [q1] 585 vs BYE
Another tough qualifying draw for Lissey again this week. In a draw of 64 she will likely have to get past the top q seed Berfu Cengiz (TUR) WR 453 in the FQR to reach the main draw. And two matches to get that far. Freya, in contrast, has an easier draw this week (having lost to Lissey in last week's qualifyi...
Kvitova might be tired after winning so many matches... ... ... R64: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 23 v. Petra KVITOVA (CZE) [10] 10 (CH 2, Oct. 2011) > H2H 1-2 > 2016 Wuhan, China - WTA Premier 5 - Hard - QF - Kvitova by 6-3 6-4 > 2016 Eastbourne, UK - WTA Premier 12 - Grass - R16 - Konta by 5-7 6-4 6-0 > 2015 U...
