Week 19 - Womens ITF 10K - Edinburgh

VSandhi20 · Futures qualifying

ive checked the itf site to see where's cavaday playing next, i thought she was playing in the 50k Indian Harbour, but shes not on the entry list or in qualifying. i looked further down, it states that she withdrawn from the tournament couple of weeks as she's going to play here!!!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Yeah, but she withdrew from here later on.

I am surprised that Broady is taking the wild card here. Qualies draw should be very weak as this is so up north. No idea about the women's event, but last time in the men's Futures the main draw cut was inside 500 but they couldn't get 16 players in qualies to give seedings to!

Does anyone who has the last main draw wild card?

I wonder if Tara Moore has it, as otherwise it would mean that she is coming to Europe for one week of tennis!

Wonder why Proctor and Hatch have md wcs ??

Maybe it's because our other top juniors don't want wcs because they're saving them till the 2nd half of the season (you can only get 4 max per year) and the LTA had no one better to get them too

Drew's going on Tuesday which is final qualies round for the women so hopefully he can check out Curtis, Carreras and Elliott...will be Abbie Probert's first tourney for a while, hopefully she can get some good results, her game suits clay and she trains in Spain.

i know where u are coming from here. i feel some of the girls in the main draw are overlooked in this way aswell people such as julia bone, lucy warburton, deb armstrong, liz thomas allways get tough draws.
some people are just destines to meet seeds i think its important for them not to get too down as i think they lose alot to high ranked people and start to think its because of them then when they come to meet lower ranked players they feel very pressured to win and can slip up.

main draw has been done and its lastround qualies tomorrow but bno results up from lta as its bank holiday

Salmon · Tennis legend

Even if yesterday wasn't a bank holiday they possibly wouldn't have updated it. The site is becoming a joke now.

The first round results are up there in that link.

Singles draw.

Doubles draw.

Nasty first round draw for Proctor.

Luke Milligan told britishtennis.net

"In the women's qualifying, Amanda Elliott backed up her excellent run in Bournemouth with a 6-2, 6-3 win over 6th seed Natasha Hillyer. It was a very good, solid professional performance from Amanda. Natasha is a good competitor and it was a potentially tricky match for Amanda, a few weeks ago Natasha probably would have been slight favourite but Amanda's results in Bournemouth have given her a huge amount of confidence. She served really well which was key as the match went indoors, slightly faster surface. She also struck a good balance between being aggressive and coming forward to the net and also keeping it solid from the back, making Natasha work very hard to win points, she kept having to hit one more shot.

She now faces Amanda Carreras who was too steady for her opponent. Carreras moved well and made a lot of balls, if you look at her game I'd say that her weapons are her movement and courtcraft, she's not the biggest of girls but uses the court very well."

Jade Curtis progressed with an easy win....in about 30min, she felt she played pretty well

Olivia Howlett won as her opponent retired at 6-2, 1-1

Elliott-Carreras will be v interesting....have to give the edge to Elliott but Carreras has made big strides this year and will provide totally different challenges to any of Elliott's opponents over the past week
