Lisa Whybourn should be here in the main draw, following a few "what on earth possessed me to enter tournaments in Kazakhstan" type tweets this week and then yesterday's "has been stuck in germany over night due to wrong visas...what a schoolboy error!!!"

Hopefully she'll get there, she was doing really well towards the end of last year and it would be good to see her starting to move up the rankings again.

The main draw has been released and Lisa is listed as in it, so hopefully this means she will make it to Astana in time.

R1: Lisa WHYBOURN (GBR) (4) 526 vs Svetlana SMIRNOVA (RUS) 764=

Lisa's latest tweet: "kazakhstan needs to learn about proper food!!!-3 weather aswell wow!!"

I'm guessing she made it there then.

Lisa, the Kazakhstani tourist board phoned and they're releasing you from your contract. You can pick up your uniform when you come to collect your paycheck...

We wish you well in all your endeavours.

Yes, her tweets are great smile.gif and they could get even more scathing because someone (one of the Naomis? - not sure) tweeted her last week that Astana is a great place compared to Almaty where she will be the following week.

Her draw looks good though - the other seed in her quarter is the lowest she could have got (i.e. no 8) and apart from Lisa, her R1 opponent the other seed, all the other players in her quarter are Qs or WCs.

Well, Lisa, it just gives you a chance to get out and about and sample some of the best of what Kazakhstan has to offer.

There's always the 'Palace of Peace' - a pyramid designed by a Brit (Norman Foster, no less) - not sure if they do food though! wink

Well today has been a day of bad/non-food and non-water.

Send me the address and I'll send her these 37p Easter Eggs I found in Sainsburys that NO ONE WILL EAT.

Aha, it was one of the Naomis - Cav - her coach has just tweeted:

"@lisawhybourn have you found the supermarket around the corner from the hotel? There's also a shopping centre 10 mins walk from the site. Let me know if you want anymore info and I'll email it to you - don't starve over there!!"

Lisa playing at 11am according to her twitter, which will be 6 am BST but who knows when result will emerge ( maybe quicker than from LTA tournamnts wink.gif )

I guess Lisa may tweet it, though she has doubles later.

I'm looking for Lisa's next twitter mention of "Kazakhstan", 5 different mentions so far and 5 different spellings  smile
