With many of the players in the Osaka Grade A (both events there incidentally were won by Kristina Mladenovic, who thus virtually guarantees the number 1 world ranking at the end of the year) coming here the field is strong for a Grade 2 and 5 of our 6 girls were forced to qualify. Daneika Borthwick and Lu...
This will be updated often so its contents are dynamic. Bye Bye 2009 *** This is a 'best guess' list subject to change and mistakes ! *LOL* Tim ________________________________________ Any guesses anyone ? -- Edited by timmoore46 on Sunday 29th of November 2009 11:58:14 PM
Elena Baltacha has pulled out with the injury she suffered in Saint Raphael but Sarah Borwell maintains British interest in the doubles: Kapshay/Osterloh (UKR/USA) v Klaschka/Schruff (GER) (2)Borwell/Kops-Jones (GBR/USA) v Barrois/Meusburger (GER/AUT)
Boys R1: (8) Joe Rodgers v Marius Merz (GER) Lloyd GLASSPOOL (GBR) Vs Gijs LINDERS (NED) (5) (LL) Joshua Ward-Hibbert v Stefan SCHEENSTRA (NED) Joe MILLS (GBR) Vs Carlos BAUTISTA ENRIQUE (ESP) Josh Reason was top seed in qualifying but lost in FQR Girls R1: Nicole PETERSON (GBR) Vs Alisa DANILOVA (RU...
QR1: Jordan Miles UNR v Karim Karrit (SEN) UNR - winner to play Maher Hachem (SEN) UNR Karrit's singles record at ITF level is W L 3 (though he may be at an advantage if they have to play in the dark), while Hachem is W L 2, with all five matches having been played in Senegal Futures last year. FQR: (q2) Ph...
Another Spanish week, this time with fewer GB juniors but some stronger names added. It's also a 64 qualifying field rather than 128. QR1 : (q10) Andrew Bettles WR 1631 vs Fabian Spaar (SUI) UNR QR1 : (q12) Jack Carpenter WR 1727 vs (WC) Carlos Gonzalez-Tarriro (ESP ) UNR QR1 : George Mo...
Katie O'Brien returns to competition in a strong $100K event. First match is against a player who was in the top 50 a couple of years ago, but has not had a good year, falling to 160 currently. Katie's quarter: (8) Monica Niculescu (ROU) vs Estelle Guisard (FRA) Kristina Kucova (SVK) vs Pauline Parment...
Jamie Baker should be seeded here as he looks to build on his recent return to form and looks for a fourth successive final. Listen to an interview with him on BBC Radio Scotland here (interview starts at 31 minutes 13 seconds) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00n3lx4
QR2: James Allemby UNR v Mark Fynn (ZIM) UNR or Shadrack Nkosana Masumbuka (RSA) UNR It'll be Fynn, I'm almost certain - he's the guy who took 8 games off Sean Thornley in R1 this week. Sean is a DA again.
I went to an LTA forum held by my local county office recently. The forum was held under the pretense that we would be discussing new coach education initiatives and we would be informed about improving coach-club relationships. In fact, it seemed to be held as an information gathering exercise and t...
Stefan Sterland-Markovic is having a good week here so far. I notice that his most recent victim claims grass as his favourite surface, despite the lack of such courts in Russia and never having played on it in an ITF event - perhaps a tongue-in-cheek comment. Singles R1 (L32) (4) Stefan Sterland-Mar...
