A fair amount of British interest here. Weirdly Jade Curtis is in qualies, is she a late entry? I thought she was down to play this but withdrew, maybe whatever was wrong in USA wasn't as wrong as she thought?

Some good results in round one, with all but two progressing (though of course several of our girls had byes). It will be interesting to see who wins out of Jade W and Steph in the next round.

Danielle had some decent results in Tennis Europe under 14 events last year, but it is a big step-up to this tournament. Hard for any of them to gain points in these Portugese events with such big qualifying draws.

Thanks for the info It will be interesting to see how she fares. Totally agree about these Portuguese tournaments, if you're in qualies then you have to win an awful lot of matches just to fight for a chance to get one measly point. However that said there is clearly something good about these tournaments (cheap flights? well organised?) as there is always a large contingent of Brits competing in them.

I saw Jade in the University of Bath gym last wweek training. She was looking slightly leaning. Not sure whether it was a good or bad thing. Obviously had a training block.
