L32: (SE) James Ward WR 217 v Qualifier (3) Adrian Mannarino (FRA) WR 97 and (7) Blaz Kavcic (SLO) WR 109 are the seeds in Wardy's quarter. Interesting that he took an SE here when he had scraped into Salzburg, though perhaps he didn't know about that when the SE was being sorted out.
The LTA planning grids for tournaments up to August 2011 are available online. They are increasing the number of BT events, and compared to the same period in 2010 there will be one additional womens' Pro Series event. The breakdown for 2011 (up to August, can't find info beyond that) will be as follow...
AFAICS Verena Jane Scott is the only British player in ITF Junior main draw action this week (the main North America circuit finale with Oliver Golding, George Morgan et al starts next week). Like Laura Deigman she roves the world to play tournaments, and won the doubles in Qatar earlier in the year, b...

Has anybody else received a strange email from someone called Anna, claiming to have read their profile on this board and saying she is sure she would "click" with them? I deleted it immediately - I can't see how an elderly female is going to click with what is presumably a young girl! I also a...
