Too much needed to qualify! Portugal, Spain and USA qualies draw are just MA-HOO-SIVE and unnecessarily so.

Let's hope Jade and Steph at LEAST come away with something now.

And Joss of course...

It would be nice for Stephanie to get a point after those qualies. It would be her first gained outside of the UK.

They must've had bad weather today. Both Jocelyn and Stephanie are on tomorrow's OOP, and may have to play twice.

I don't like this week.

alex03maccy · Grand Slam Champion

seems steph loss was in the 2nd round so she managed an R1 win.

Alex, where are you getting the info from? I've been searching but can't find any scores.

Thank You. I'm guessing it's a reliable source, although there aren't any scores posted. After all that qualifying, I'm glad she's taken a WR point at least.

Oh good. Glad she managed to get a win after all that good work qualifying.

Real pity Steph could'nt turn 1 ranking point nto 4 to really profit after all these matches.

But Kerkhove beat the no 1 seed here in the 1st round, and has already reached 10K semis and quarters in Glasgow and Wrexham respectively this year so seems an 18 yo ( born the same months as Steph ) on the up. Hopefully though good signs of Steph being on the up too.

PIty for Joss too that she couldn't eek out a win in that 3 setter. With no ranking points to defend before June, hopefully Joss can manage to earn some significant points in the coming months and move up these rankings.

Was looking for Jade to make a better start to the year than she has, though she did get some match practice in here by however means she ended up playing qualifying
