QR1: Felipe Sharratt (GBR) UNR lost to Graham Shaw (RSA) UNR 6-3 6-0 QR2: (q1) Lewis Burton (GBR) WR 1403 beat Daniel Sibbald (RSA) UNR 6-0 6-2 FQR: (q1) Lewis Burton (GBR) WR 1403 vs. Edward Louies Oueilhe (USA) UNR Lewis should qualify. Also, "Oueilhe" is too many vowels for one name.
Luke Bambridge's doubles exploits have earned him a Special Exempt and an opportunity to avenge a defeat a couple of weeks ago against an Italian wildcard. George Morgan has to tackle the 1996 sensation Quinzi whilst Liam tackles a fast rising 1995 boy R1 (L64) (SE) Luke Bambridge (GBR) v (WC) Amerig...
Katie Boulter, Beth Askew and Alannah Griffin look for some Turkish delight in a field led by last week's winner Kathinka von Deichmann of Liechtenstein, who like Joshua Sapwell didn't drop a set in the main draw. R1 (L64) (Q) Vera Aleshcheva (RUS) v (7) Beth Askew (GBR) (13) Alannah Griffin (GBR) v (W...
Wardy tries to make amends of RGQ disappointment by turning up in qualies for this challenger. James Ward (3) GBR WR 216 vs. Pierre-Ludovic Duclos CAN WR 486 He's got Korolev in the next round potentially and in the same section as 6th seed Hocevar WR 250. Hopefully James qualifies
Only 15 ranked players in the draw here, but predictably enough all the Brits in same quarter . R32: (5) Sean Thornley (GBR) WR 614 vs. (WC) Or Ram-Harel (ISR) UNR R32: Daniel McGrath (GBR) UNR vs. Alon Faiman (ISR) UNR R32: (3) David Rice (GBR) WR 474 vs. Benjamin Ezer (ISR) UNR
Just creating this thread as, as Brit fans we have experienced two different kind of defeats in two days. So just what one affected you the most? Dan Evans: Evo was up against a 34 year old wildcard, CH in the 400's 5 years ago, easy! No way he could lose, right? Wrong Evo went out in straights to a guy he shou...
Thread creation bonanza! QR1: Tom Allen (GBR) UNR lost to Tore Deleuran-Skjold (DEN) UNR 6-0 6-0 No idea what's going on there, Allen usually gets through a round of qualifying or two. Smethurst in the main draw.
R32: Stefan Sterland-Markovic (GBR) WR 1521 vs. Arturs Kazijevs (LAT) UNR Kazijevs is in as a DA despite being unranked in one of this week's crazy weak Futures. Good chance of a point for SSM, but probably no more, as (2) Folie would be his most likely R2 opponent.
If anyone still looks in this section apologies for the delay in publishing it - took this week off work so not on the laptop as much as when I'm working. Anyway, Dreamteam open for entries. Deadline is 10.00am on Sunday. Usual rules apply and it's free of charge to enter (any donations gratefully recei...
L32: (5) Jamie Baker WR 369 v Kim Cheong-Eui (KOR) WR 826 Jamie is the only non-Korean in the third quarter, in which the other seed is (3) Lim Yong-Kyu (KOR) WR 539. Lim was ranked above Jamie last week (hence the higher seeding) but he had won the Busan Challenger last year, went out in R2 there last wek a...
Katy Dunne joins the trio for the second Austrian grade 2, and has a winnable match, but Josh Ward-Hibbert has it all to do again against the boy who was the Tennis Europe U14 number 1 in Liam's year. Boys R1 (L32) (Q) Johannes Schretter (AUT) v Sam Hutt (GBR) (5) Moos Sporken (NED) v Joshua Ward-Hibbert (...
Qualifying starts tomorrow with Jo Konta in the draw, and Elena Baltacha appears to have sneaked into the main draw at the last minute. Jo's opener is the fifth match on court 2 (following Mirjana Lucic) Q1: Sheng-Nan Sun (CHN) WR259 v Johanna Konta (AUS/GBR) WR267
From @rolandgarros on twitter: "Tirage au sort des qualifs en ce moment même .." I hadn't realised they did it so early, but the draw should be available online in the next hour hopefully. -- Edited by steven on Monday 16th of May 2011 04:21:46 PM
An abbreviated qualifying draw of 24 sees Anne Keothavong seeded to qualify, given a bye in the first qualifying round. Irina Falconi, who lost to Laura Robson recently, is the other seed in her section. Q1: (4) Anne Keothavong (GBR) WR107 Bye
Eleanor Dean has struggled to make much impact on the clay court season, but this Grade A may give her an opportunity. She is seeded to qualify and her section, starting with an unranked Italian, doesn't look too daunting. QR1: (2) Eleanor Dean (GBR) v Elena Musso (ITA)
