R1: (WC) Artem Dubrivnyy & Ergi Kirkin (RUS/TUR) UNR vs Romano Frantzen (NED) & Darren Walsh CR 613 (440+173) -- Edited by Stircrazy on Wednesday 23rd of September 2015 03:53:27 PM
Being seeded (I think for the first time at WTA level) means a better draw than of late, but they are in the Mirza/Hingis quarter. R1: Jocelyn RAE/Anna SMITH (GBR/GBR) [4] 154 vs. Jing-Jing LU/Zhaoxuan YANG (CHN/CHN) 644
QR1: Dave Rice WR 543 vs Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) WR 953 (CH = 949 last month) Trouble is, if he gets past the Greek, who's only 17, he faces the q1, Ehara WR 341 (= CH).
Not great..... QR1: Lars VELDHEER (NED) 6-0 6-3 Scott LAWRENCE (GBR) Gijs BUNTSMA (NED) 6-3 6-7(0) 6-1 Barnaby SMITH (GBR) Daniel UHLIG (GER) [4] 6-1 6-0 Philip SIKMAN (GBR) But (q14) James ALLEMBY managed to win, 6-0 6-1, against Ante ZOVKO (CRO)
Naomi Broady is top seed in qualifying and faces the talented, but unpredictable Melanie Oudin in the first qualifier. Edit: just correcting a few spelling mistakes....-- Edited by Stircrazy on Saturday 12th of September 2015 08:35:01 PM
I was just doing a quick check of career prize money for Murray vs Wawrinka * and something just struck me - has anyone ever seen a list of career ranking points? It seems unlikely to me that anyone has ever bothered to do this but obviously it could have an advantage over prize money comparisons in that in...

Julian Robinson, after his good run last week, is still listed on the acceptance list here but not in the draw so presumably has withdrawn. The entry list is pretty small (no qualies and lots of R1 byes). Which is good for the Martins twins. R1: (8) Essence Martins - BYE R1: (6) Destinee Martins - BYE R2...
QR1: (q2) Imran Aswat WR 1546 vs BYE FQR: (q2) Imran Aswat WR 1546 bt Antoine Monaco (FRA) UNR 7-6(3) 6-1 Good luck in the MD! -- Edited by Stircrazy on Sunday 13th of September 2015 03:59:02 PM
