What do we think of the wc selections here ? I think they're good except I would have given Amanda E one instead of Howlett, maybe they want to test her by making her qualify.

I think the same. Elliott is working very hard for the points, so she should have been rewarded. cry

Ok sorry, I take it back about you being a fan of Steph because of Dan Cox (but I still think it's at least partly true wink.gif)....

I haven't seen either play but I've been given detailed info about their game styles and that's what I'm going on...@ 15 results don't always give you the full picture especially on the junior circuit...look at the likes of Cavaday and Fitzpatrick, you have to look at the game styles. Also Laura beat Steph so comprehensively earlier this year confirming what I had already thought.

That's rubbish! furious.gif Why should I like someone just because he or she is a friend of one my favourtie players? confused.gif

You have a point with Naomi, though. While all others of her age group were busy chasing points, she spent time honing her skills (and her knowledge of grammar worship.gif). By the time she starting touring full time, she was matured enough to play at 10K level. But how many players are good enough to do that?

Amanda has already had 2 MD WCs this year. I don't see the point in using the final one this early in the year, especially since these Clay 10Ks are alot weaker.

ah, I didn't realise she could only get 3 per year, is that the case in the men's game too ?

Amanda's a good clay player so she should be able to qualify for both these 10Ks

Nope, no restriction in the men's game. Young got ten wild cards last year.

Why do you think that there is an Age Eligibility Rule?

Michelle Farley in my opinion is a waste of a wildcard
some far better players. looking at alternates kate smith is worth a run iv seen her beat farley 1 and o in british tour last year.
doubt i will be proved right.
yes nigels comments would be nice and for the main draw if u can sheddie thanks

Because female players mature earlier than male players and so start competing on the tour sooner...the rule's in place to stop them over-competing and so getting injuries and burn-out
