As usual this Wimbledon warm-up event attracts a field stronger than non-slam Grade As. No Brits are direct entries but Rhett Purcell, Alex Sendegeya, Julian Cash, Joel Cannell, Joshua Sapwell, Jay Clarke, Marcus Walters and Max Stewart are all contenders for main draw wildcards. The main draw st...
Having just turned 16 a few days ago, Ms Konjuh celebrated by beating Roberta Vinci quite comfortably in the end at the WTA in Auckland. This time last year she won the Eddie Herr, Orange Bowl and AO Juniors back to back in the space of a few weeks as a 14 year old, who turned 15 just before the AO. Quite a prog...
Darren tries his luck with a new partner (of whom I've barely heard! ), but runs out of it in the draw! R1: (1) Guillermo Durán & Máximo González (ARG/ARG) CR 161 (110+51) vs Sebastian Bader (AUT) & Darren Walsh CR 515 (217+298)
We have the top 2 seeds here (and the 5th seed) but the draw has placed 3 of the 4 Brits in the top quarter: L32: (1) Liam Broady WR 393 v Toby Martin WR 846 - H2H 1-0, 4 & 6, Herzlia SF last Oct L32: (5) Luke Bambridge WR 576 v Jorge Montero (CHI) WR 819 (CH 790 in 2012) L32: (2) Ashley Hewitt WR 431 v Qualifier ...
Not much joy for all our entrants with the lads (who all came through qualifying) all being knocked out in the first round. But Donia Abdel-Aziz and Katarina Weymouth won one round. And Georgina is through to the semis, beating the number 3 seed: QF: Georgina AXON (GBR) [5] 7-5 6-1 Nermeen SHAW...
Just thought that as I had some idle time this evening I would put out a prediction on who would play with who, pure speculation. Here we go : Jamie/ Dellacqua Dom/ JoKo Flembo/ Joss Ross/ Hev Neal/ Naomi Ken/ Sam Jamie D could nick a WC and play with Anna or someone else, we shall see.
Please note the entry form is up at http://t3nnisstats.webs.com! Hope you have a pleasant and non-buggy and non-GEMy experience! Since we missed Roland Garros, let's see if we can get some really high scores for this tourney! Enjoy!
A reasonable qualifying draw for the GB men - nearly all of them avoid seeds in QR1 and a lot of them play each other, whcich is probably a good thing in main tour qualies! Gaps are between different qualifying sections: QR1: Ken Skupski UNR v Rémi Boutillier (FRA) WR 451 (= CH) QR1: Jathan Malik WR 861 v Ke...
A very strong qualifying draw so there are no nice draws, but these are all pretty bad - seeds 2, 3, 5, probably the best junior in the world and a former champ ... QR1: (wc) Tara Moore WR 248 v (q5) Lauren Davis (USA) WR 61 (CH 55 in Mar) QR1: (wc) Samantha Murray WR 238 v (q2) Christina McHale (USA) WR 49 (CH 24...
Quite a contingent went over to Denmark this week with, unfortunately, not a huge amount of success. But Luke Oakley is still going strong, having won three rounds and then his quarter finals to get into the semis: QF: Luke OAKLEY (GBR) [2] 6-4 5-7 6-3 Manfred FELLIN (ITA) Luke gets the 7th see...
R1: (WC) Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 133 (67+70) vs Mariusz Fyrstenberg & Chris Guccione (POL/AUS) CR 87 (30+57) R1: (WC) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins CR 206 (36+170) vs (4) Julian Knowle & Marcelo Melo (AUT/BRA) CR 47 (42+5) and last, but not least (damn, damn, damn! ): R1: Tre...
The tournament has moved from Calderstones Park to Liverpool Cricket Club this year and starts tomorrow I see Tara Moore is now playing as is Jodie Burrage (playing Bartoli) The Skupskis are advertised, but have bigger fish to fry (their dad is involved in running the event) Rusedski is also playing...
