Mirabelle is here and has missed out on a top 4 seeding by a late entry who turned up in qualifying L32: Mirabelle Njoze(5) WR 637 v Valentine Bacher (FRA) WR 1271
The transition of what was a very strong 1995 boys cohort to senior tennis fascinates me. We had/acquired a group of very promising juniors in Kyle Edmund junior CH 8 (2/2012) Born Joburg Cam Norrie junior CH 10 (25/3/2013) Born Joburg Luke Bambridge junior CH 22 (21/1/2013) Born Nottingham Evan H...

Remus isn't here this week (I'm missing him already). But Jo-Jo is, and going well (and her Academy still posting lovely smiley, group photos of them all ) Poor Sasha, after winning her first set, and getting the game postponed overnight, lost in the Qualis though: FQR: Achu MADUT (SUD) 4-6 7-6(5)...

Qualifying draw is out and with the Belgium top seed, it looks like a few late drop outs from the main draw entrants. No sign of Beth, Lisa in qualifying, so they must have got wildcards. Emma Hurst has a wildcard and possibly Maia. A lot of Brits in qualifying. I' m hoping to get down tomorrow as there are a...
Jack Oswald tried his luck in qualifying, but lost fairly easily. L32: Evan Hoyt WR 685(7) v Jessy Kalambay (SUI)(Q) WR 1387 L32: Dylan Gee UNR (WC) v Aziz Dougaz (TUN) WR 929
L32: Brydan Klein WR 177 v (5) Yuichi Sugita (JPN) WR 127 (CH 116 in 2012) H2H 1-0 but it was 11 years ago (!) - Brydan won 5 & 6 in juniors in Sarawak in 2004.

Emily Appleton has made it to Egypt and needing one more scorer to get a ranking has avoided a seed and get an unranked 18yr old local with little junior pedigree L32: Emily Appleton (UNR) v Mayar Eltony(EGY) (UNR)
Katie Swan said when interviewed after last week's GA event that the Orange Bowl would be her only other event this year, which leaves Jay Clarke and Ryan Storrie as the two Brits here. Live scoring is promised at http://www.tennisticker.de/mex/mex2579/sb.html but has yet to start. http://co...
After Remus' heroics last week (coming through qualis and then making two finals, played on Saturday), he didn't even get a wildcard this week. And so had to play two round of qualis on Sunday and then another today. However, he won them all He has his first round doubles today, and starts singles tomor...
