These matches are scheduled for Monday (28) Alona Bondarenko (UKR) WR29 v Katie O'Brien WR130 court TBA Alona has taken over from Ai Sugiyama the role of 'must draw a Brit at Wimbledon'.

The qualifying draw for Roehampton has been published, with Jo Henderson the only Brit seeded to join our 8 wildcards (see separate thread).

He was clearly born in AUS and used to play for them - indeed the last times he played outside AUS and the Far East were at the London Cum...
I'm heading to the station to get a train to London. I'll be in the queue tomorrow morning. Exciting times. Can someone alleviate my random memory loss - there's no particular dress code for a ground pass is there? i.e. I'm ok to wear shorts? (Will they let you in to CC in shorts?) Gutted Andy and Jamie are...
