L32: (7) Liam Broady WR 163 (CH = 154 in February) vs Stéphane Robert (FRA) WR 170 (CH = 50 in October 2016) Not sure whether that's a good or a bad draw for Liam: Robert's now 37, but his favourite surface is apparently clay & he's certainly been round the block a few times...
Anton Matusevich was on the acceptance list, but has pulled out following reaching the final last week R1 (L32) James Story v Brandon Perez (VEN) Connor Thomson v (LL) Leon C Roider (AUT)
QR1: Luke Stevenson UNR vs Willie van Zyl (RSA) UNR QR1: (q4) Joel Cannell WR 1383 (CH = 822 in December 2016) vs BYE QR1: Kooros Ghasemi (CAN) UNR vs Michael Jalpota UNR QR1: Alexander Romay UNR vs Jorakuly Jorayev (TKM) UNR (another 39-year-old!)
We have 3 boys in the main draw at Roland Garros (Aidan McHugh, Jack Draper and George Loffhagen) and one in qualifying (Jacob Fearnley). Jacob is the only one of the four scheduled to play junior warm-up events, starting here. Live scores are available at http://scores.tennisticker.de/ita/sb.h...
QR1: (q4) Niklas Johansson (SWE) WR 1509 (CH = 1351 last November) vs (qWC) Darryl Hale UNR QR1: (q7) Emmett Ward (USA) WR 1583 (CH = 1580 late last month) vs Joe Cooper UNR Wonder if we'll see George picking up an SE again - or possibly a wild card?
I think we missed this last week. A belated congratulations to Olivia Sonnekus-Williams on getting her first counter. R32: SONNEKUS-WILLIAMS, Olivia [WC] 17yo UNR def MILAS, Katja (CRO) UNR (CH:782 Oct 2011) 6-4 6-3 R16: SONNEKUS-WILLIAMS, Olivia [WC] 17yo UNR lost to ZEBALLOS, Noelia (...
QR1: (q5) Anton Chekhov (RUS) WR 1567 (CH = 1565 last month) vs Joe Cooper UNR Joe was one place above George in the alternates list, while Phil Dimon, who was 16 places below him, is in the qualies draw. I wonder: dare we hope?
Tara's route to the main draw is challenging to say the least. This first match is going to be no pushover whatsoever, and then likely opponent in QR2 is one Abbie Meyers, conquerer of Naomi Broady this week!! Abbie doesn't even have a q rank. QR1: Tara MOORE (GBR) [q2] 444 vs Ayumi MIYAMOTO (JPN) 833 (...
Emily and Harriet have both drawn a qualifier. Qualifiers yet to be decided. Harriet is seeded 4. They are both in doubles, Emily with Nika Kukharchuk and Harriet with Ankita Raina. Harriet+ is seeded 3. Unfortunately they meet in the 1st round. -- Edited by RedSquirrel on Monday 7th of May 2018 09:37...
Spain and its not clay. Beth into the second round of qualifying, with just one match to win to reach the main draw. Whoever she plays will be unranked. Katie S should be in the main draw. QR1: Sarah Beth GREY (GBR) [q2] 610 vs BYE
Potentially a short thread, as Amelia Bissett is the only Brit in the main draw, and she lost today to a local wildcard R1 (L32) (WC) Asia Serafini (ITA) d. Amelia Bissett 6-4 6-2
