Wild cards here for Anne Smith, Tash Khan, Jade Curtis and Johanna Konta (Broady overlooked!). They join Katie O'Brien, Naomi Cavaday and Amanda Elliott in the main draw.
Qualies start on Monday so even if Naomi could have got a SE (which I very much doubt) there is no need.
With Konta, I think it might be something to do with she can't get a passport until she is 18 or something. She will be definately be trying all she can to move though as she using the British training facilities and recieving wild cards etc so obviously the LTA consider her British.
Great win for Liz, hopefully a sign that she is back on track. With the exception of Lucy W, the girls that lost all took a beating, but from higher ranked opponents so it was to be expected. Tara vs Naomi should be a good one, though it's a shame both can't qualify. Also I wonder what happened to Manisha?
Manisha is the nominated reserve for the Tennis Europe U16 Winter Cup team playing later this week. Since one of the nominated team (Jessica Ren) had a problem in her last event, and pulled out of the doubles, I guess that Manisha has been drafted into the team.
