For some reason the Uruguay Bowl was shifted from its normal place in the COSAT cycle to after the Copa Gerdau climax this year. As a result there are few Europeans left around, but Natalie Beazant has the misfortune to land in the same quarter as the best one here - top seed Ulrikke Eikeri from Norway. Sh...
QR1: James Allemby UNR v Yann Marti (SUI) WR 1327 QR1: Paul Brown UNR v Alexandre Schnitman (BRA) WR 1576 QR1: Gary Chamberlain UNR v Alvara Iturriaga Romero (ESP) UNR
QR2: (q4) Myles Blake WR 1150 v Lam Wing-Lun (HKG) UNR or Evan Meltzer (USA) UNR As last week, there are no other ranked players in his section of the draw.
The draw is out - same old sod in the quarters! R1- Bye R2- Fish or Mayer R3- Lacko, Berrer or Lopez (29) R4- seeds Wawrinka (19) and Youzhny (13) Q - Likely Gonzalez (9) or Soderling (5) S - Fed or Cilic (7) Nadal and Djokovic are in the other half. -- Edited by MiloTheCat on Monday 22nd of March 2010 08:16:2...
Henry Moore has sculpted his way to a first ITF final with Trinidadian Dawoud Kabli. In the final they meet the two Italians who were great rivals of Luke Bambridge et al in TE14 competitions last year. Boys R1 Calvin Hemery (FRA) d. Henry Moore (GBR) 4-6 6-4 6-3 Doubles Final (3) Kabli (TRI) / Moore (GBR...
When I first came to this forum, there was a bucket load of people willing to write articles for the site, Rob posted a list every day, and people seemed to respond. I reckon for the last three months though, I have done about 96-97% of the articles. Is there anyone out there who would like to help out? Quit...
Is Andy going to show up ? If so any guesses as to which day ? Tim Edit - it didn't seem worth while opening a separate thread for this tournament, so I have "pinched" Tim's thread and altered the title. Hope you don't mind, Tim! -- Edited by timmoore46 on Sunday 14th of March 2010 08:12:04 AM
Evo and Yoshi are likely to be seeded here in a draw that is significantly stronger than the one in Tipton, with Sijsling and Jan Minar slotting in above Bautista-Agut and serial Brit-basher Freddie Nielsen making an appearance and Samuel Groth looking to add to his 14-match Brit-bashing streak as w...
The last chance for the girls to earn significant points in South America, and at least they have avoided top 100 players in round 1 R1 (L64) Jessica Pegula (USA) v Lucy Brown (GBR) Daneika Borthwick (GBR) v Denisa Allertova (CZE) Kerrie Cartwright (BAH) v Elisha Gabb (GBR)
Another good week for Jennifer Ren here would see her enter the top 100 for the first time. She shouldn't be troubled until the quarter-finals. Boys R1 (L32) (WC) Matthew Rossouw (RSA) v (6) Christopher Simpson (GBR) Girls R1 (L32) Francesca Stephenson (GBR) v (7) Ysaline Bonaventure (BEL) Joanna H...
David Rice (8) GBR WR 509 vs Jordan Cox (LL) USA WR 940 Another nice first-round draw for David, with his R1 opponent from last week, Gilad Ben Zvi (who he beat easily), or Canadian WC Erik Chvojka in the last 16. He's in the same quarter as top seed Vasek Pospisil again, but Pospisil got beat by Inzerillo l...
Anne is in the main draw with her SR, Elena just missed out and Katie was down to play qualifying but is not in the Q draw: QR1: (q1) Elena Baltacha WR 64 v (WC) Julia Boserup (USA) WR Boserup beat Mel South 2-6 6-3 6-0 in Surprise last month and Jade Curtis 1 & 3 in Plantation in January, though neither of...
L32: Alex Slabinsky WR 735 v Dzmitry Zhyrmont (BLR) WR 689 - Tuesday Zhyrmont is 0-4 against Brits in singles, having lost to both Seator and Eaton in 2007 and to both Thornley (3 & 3) and Dr No (bagel in the 3rd) in November 2009. The winner is likely to play (6) Ilya Belyaev (RUS) WR 404 in R2.
Luke Bambridge plays his first ITF tournament of the year, thanks to a wildcard for qualifying, and he has negotiated that and the first round of the main draw R1 (L64) (Q) Luke Bambridge (GBR) d. Martin Lacko (SVK) 6-3 6-1 (9) James Ireland (GBR) Bye R2 (Q) Luke Bambridge (GBR) v (5) Pedja Krstin (SRB) S...
Jack Carpenter's chances of making an impact in the third Grade A event of the year have been dealt a blow by drawing the top seed and Australian Open champion Tiago Fernandes. George Morgan's draw (for the opening 2 rounds at least) is more favourable. R1 (L64) (1) Tiago Fernandes (BRA) v Jack Carpent...
QL128: Kyung-Yee CHAE (KOR) 4 v. Angela ROSSLER (SWE) Catriona STEWART (GBR) v. Kateryna KOZLOVA (UKR) Jessica HUMBERT (AUS) v. Ani AMIRAGHYAN (ARM) Monica CANTELE (ITA) v. Laura ANTONANA-IRIARTE (ESP) Anna MOMOT (UKR) v. Huliya VELIEVA (BUL) Deborah DANZ (GER) v. Romana TABAKOV...
I've just noticed that on Tuesday (16 March 2010), we reached 1000 signed up members - Diane, ABBA and TimProper signed up that day, and I think they are probably shown in order on the calendar, so Tim was the 1000th. maddog signed up on Wednesday to start the next 1000 ...
