Elena Baltacha needs to win this tournament to make the Australian Open main draw, but that will be a tall order given the presence of local top 20 star Caroline Wozniacki. In qualifying, we have interest in 3 sections, with the most interesting pairing being Sarah with her doubles partner Courtney:

(2)Tatjana Malek (GER) v Helene Auensen (NOR)
Maria Christensen (DEN) v (wc)Maria Jespersen (DEN)
Julia Paetow (GER) v Lucy Warburton (GBR)
Alina Tseplukhova (RUS) v (6)Pauline Wong (NED)

(3)Lenka Jurikova (SVK) v (wc)Emma Henriksen (DEN)
Thale Myhre (NOR) v Adla Mahic (SWE)
Hanna Nooni (SWE) v Irene Santos-Bravo (ESP)
Mai Grage (DEN) v (5)Anna Smith (GBR)

(4)Sarah Borwell (GBR) v Courtney Nagle (USA)
(wc)Trine Bassett (DEN) v (wc)Sandra Roma (SWE)
Ellen Allgurin (SWE) v Charlene Vanneste (FRA)
(wc)Victoria Rode-Bager (DEN) v (7)Dia Evtimova (BUL)

I really hope Anna SMith can get some good net cords or something this week and qualify for this one

Good win for Lucy, that gets her a point as well.

Sarah and Anna should get to the FQR but it will be tough there.

It is a good start.

Kudos to Warbuton for trying such a big event!

Nice to see Sarah wears the trousers in that doubles relationship wink.gif

Second round has gone as expected, except for Sarah making rather a meal of a match against an unranked 25 year old Danish wildcard.

QR2:

(6)Pauline Wong (NED) d. Lucy Warburton (GBR) 61 60

(3)Lenka Jurikova (SVK) d. Thale Myhre (NOR) 61 62
(5)Anna Smith (GBR) d. Irene Santos-Bravo (ESP) 63 61

(4)Sarah Borwell (GBR) d. (wc)Trine Bassett (DEN) 62 46 63
(7)Dia Evtimova (BUL) d. Charlene Vanneste (FRA) 64 32 ret

FQR:

(3)Lenka Jurikova (SVK) v (5)Anna Smith (GBR)
(4)Sarah Borwell (GBR) v (7)Dia Evtimova (BUL)

Sarah has a winnable match against someone who lost to Jade Curtis in Glasgow, but Anna has a strong opponent.

Bally can do Mel a favour here by removing one of Mel's competitors for an AO main draw spot. Hradecka has not been in great form lately (and lost to Amanda earlier in the year), so Bally should have a good chance.

In fact the draw is very good for Mel, as a number of players who could have overtaken Mel's current points tally by reaching the final have all withdrawn or ended up in the top half, with world number 12 Caroline Wozniacki. As a result Mel is guaranteed to be 116 at worst on Dec 8, and that has been good enough for the AO twice in recent years.

Sarah lost 7-6 6-4 so a pretty good game from the dubs specialist

Elena kicks off play tomorrow with Sarah in dubs later on

Good effort from Sarah, but the doubles tomorrow is more important. Bally is on at 11am and is down on www.bwin.com as one of the betting matches, and if today is anything to go by that will mean livescores are available via that site.
