Pugsley · Junior player

Broady beat Slater 6-2, 6-1

She faces Pavla Smidova (Ranked 575) from Czech Republic in the 2nd round

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

I'm expecting good things from Naomi this week. But she has Emma Laine in her section whcih is a tricky draw.

Tough break for Jade, just a few places off being seeded and end up against the number 1.

Although she probably would have wanted to make it a bit closer than that.

JT · Junior player

Great result for Katie Gater and she gets the reward of another wildcard for next week.

steven · Tennis legend

Broady beat Smidova 3 & 2, very convincing given the relatively small difference in rankings.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Good to see Naomi getting another win.

Emma Laine will be very tough in the next round if thats who she ends up playing.

steven · Tennis legend

Stephanie Vongsouthi (Fra) bt Irini Georgatou (Gre) 7-5 6-3

Charlotte Rodier (Fra) bt Hanne Skak Jensen (Den) 4-6 6-0 7-6 (7-5)

Claudine Schaul (Lux) bt Katie Gater (Gbr) 6-3 6-1

Elizabeth Thomas (Gbr) bt Iveta Gerlova (Cze) 6-3 6-4,

Gerlova is ranked over 300 places above Elizabeth, who seems to be starting 2009 with a bang!

Katie did better than I thought actually! No offence to her intended but I was half expecting like, 6-0 6-1 or summat...

ANYWAY. Well done Naomi and Liz! Cracking win from Liz, hopefully she'll have summat to say about Schaul... never come close to her best since really. Same for Laine.

Chances for both!
