Just been reading an article on Katie Swann, which led me to wonder about Jazzi Plews. Saw her play a few times when she was much younger, and had heard that she was injured. Can anyone shed any light.? She seemed a talented player, so it's a pity if a serious injury is preventing her from playing
The Q draw is out. Alex Ward has a wc (which was to be expected, I think, when he went out early in Slovenia). Nice to see that the youngsters do too - Alexis Canter and Joel Cannell both in as WCs. Lewis Burton making an appearance too (although draws the second seed). Enzo Coucaud WR 216 is the top seed (and...

Just though I would start this thread as it is touch and go whether kyle will be top 100 after the french on his current points won so:- Currently kyle is 98th with 511 points. who can still catch? Mahut would need to beat Gulbis in french round 2 Kusnetsov and Melzer play each other so one will overtake...
