Next week in Ireland. Surface is "Artificial clay", which probably means Har Tru and not manufactured red clay...

Entry lists (in Excel format).

Jessica Ren's last ITF as a 13 year old. A title would be a good ending!

It is about time Jess won and ITF title. She has moved up the ranks OK but hses now the 9th ranked 1994 i think and there is a 1995 ranked abover her. Only titles at this levek will see her jump up the ranks.

All first round results (barring one) are up.


Richard Gabb (hadn't noticed him before) double bagelled the seventh seed.

IT'S NOT FAIR! furious.gif Jessica's opponent retired when she was 6-0 3-0 up. Should demand for a refund of 30 Euros entry fee.

Anyway, hope her opponent is all right (assuming anything was wrong in the first place).

(1) Alexandra Walker GBR d. Katie Gater GBR 64 62

(7) Kimberley Cassar MLT d. Dionne Sanders GBR 63 61

Amy Bowtell was doing very well last year but the last few months have been a nightmare. Jessica should beat her in straights, although I doubt it'll be anywhere near this easy.

Reaching the quarters without losing a game is a good achievement. thumb.gif

Semifinals:

Alexandra Walker [251] vs. Kimberley Cassar [648] of Malta
Alessandra Bonte [467] of the USA vs. Jessica Ren [348]


Richard Gabb [1548] vs. John Morrissey [434] of Ireland
Mathew Thomson [378] vs. Christopher Simpson [783]





Cassar is underranked because she doesn't play much but she won against Tamara Curovic in March, so can't be useless. Alex will be the favourite anyway.

Bonte's record isn't very impressive, although she does play a lot on clay (which Jessica does, too). Jessica should win in straigts again and reach her first final.


Whoever Richard Gabb is, he is doing well! Morrissey isn't anything to be scared of and he'll have a chance of reaching the finals.

Thomson plays a lot om clay and should beat Simpson.
