No probs. I didn't feel qualified enough to start a thread myself ;)

Good luck girls.

I'm not very qualified but I just start threads anyway......Maybe Amanda got the WC because she won the Spanish nationals last year (despite not being Spanish) or at least I believe she won something of that nature.

Sarah is a set and a break down against Arn.

Guys you don't need to be qualified to start threads

Anyone should feel free to do it, whether they've got 20000 posts or are a newbie who's just joined the board

Mandy lost the first set 6-4 lots of long rallies it seems because it is taking ages to update.

Doubles draw section 2, Sarah seeded but no Courtney:

(4)Borwell/Grandin (GBR/RSA) v Cirstea/Olaru (ROU)
Ivanova/Zec-Peskiric (RUS/SLO) v Hercog/Uhlirova (SLO/CZE)

I wonder if Sarah and Courtney have parted ways or if their combined ranking would still be too low to get into many WTA tournaments playing together....

As for Amanda, well it's great to see her testing herself above 10K level, hopefully she will transition away from 10Ks (which she had admittedly had a lot of success in over the past 12 months, a few finals, lots of SFs and QFs) and into 25Ks and 50Ks and see how she fares there.

Doubles R1

Cirstea/Olaru (ROU) d. (4)Borwell/Grandin (GBR/RSA) 7-6(4) 6-3

Cirstea is a top 40 doubles player, but Sarah and Nat had 0-40 twice in the first set and couldn't break. Not the nicest draw but an opportunity missed to push her up the ranks a bit.
