bath 10k WEEK 2

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Never heard of Hannah Kames.

Don't know anything about Howlett.

Hillyer and Elliot seem fair enough!

Funnily enough though, I would reverse the main draw and qualifying wild cards. Bann, Carreras, Cornish and Windley seem much better prospects to me!

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

I think its meant to be Hannah James

Sheddie · administrator

Hannah James is ranked no 5 in the GB U16s and no 9 in the U18s Johnny. She played for England in the Aberdeen Cup last year. She's only played 3 womens tournaments in the past, so good to see her playing more

Good day for Jade and Jade again. Steph Cornish the only disappointment. Annabel B got close again.

john · Top national player

Great wins for the two Jades!

Salmon · Tennis legend

I thought that Steph would take that one.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Pity Maomi and Michaela had to play each other.

C arrerras through as well and her next opponent dropped a set!

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Come on girls, hoping to see a lot of them qualify.

Broady doesn't seem to have carried on with the form she had at the end of 2006. Has she been injured?

Salmon · Tennis legend

I don't think that she has been injured. Nothing major, at least...

Yes, she isn't doing as well as last year.

A good set. Jade and Jade march on, impressively. Melissa B and Claire R do professional jobs. A good fight from Amanda C , and Naomi B lost out in three tight sets.

Heres hoping for a kind main draw for the Jades.

RobC · All-time great

I just got off the phone with Nigel Sears:

Jade Windley was very impressive, she's one of our brightest prospects, following on from her successes in Tipton etc..

Jade Curtis was again impressive, playing pretty well to beat Liz Thomas 4 and 4. It's nice to see 2 of the 1990 girls coming through.

Nigel says that Amanda Carrera really "PLAYS tennis" - a pleasure to watch, but she's very small. It was a tight 3 setter that she lost against the Russian.

Naomi Broady lost another tight 3 setter against Sibille, coming back from 5-2 down in the third set, only to finally just lose it 7-5.

- Looks like I'm the Bath 10K correspondent this week.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

And a good correspondent you are too!

4 qualifiers, two Jades, Melissa and Claire is not a bad result from the original draw.

When's main draw released?
