jb288 · Satellite level

It's not controversy, it's just bigotry. She's been cleared to compete as a woman, and a woman she is. End of.

One great result one a little bit disappointing:
Anna won 6-7 6-3 7-5 confirming the promise shown over her last few tournaments. I think I have said this before but anyway there is no reason why Anna can't be top 250 by the end of the season.

Tara lost 4-6 6-3 2-6. great effort in qualifying ultimately comes with no reward with regards to ranking points.

She does get 1 point for qualifying if it's a 25K. Anna Smith beating no. 2 seed Kucova is definitely the GB result of the day biggrin

Yeah exactly 1 point is no reward for those 2 great qualifying performances.

Yes, you're right there!

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Heather's opponent is in form and at her career high. She won the Glasgow 10k two weeks ago and lost in the semi final in a German 10k last week.

Poor old Ungur facing Anna again! Just a shame that the winner has to play Barthel..could be tricky.
