I have been following the three girls tweets who took part in this tournament with interest as they try to get home.
Bally who finished the tournament last has made her way to Dubai and is hoping to get to Rome shortly. Katie is stuck in Joburg indefinitely and there are fears that Naomi has been kidnapped by the local militia in Nairobi as there has been no communication made since Friday.
Katie does seem to be making the most of her enforced 'holiday' though ... though when I say holiday, she is also trying to keep fit: "Asked for a day guest pass at the gym today...seriously considered asking what the annual membership fees were though!"
Jamie Murray (and hopefully Jonny Marray) got out of Joburg too - they have managed to reach Athens (for the Challenger there) via Dubai.
Naomi's site reports that "She is currently stranded in Kenya due to the Volcanic disruption of European airspace but will hopefully make it to the first $50k tournament in Japan next week."

Anne is hoping to get to Morocco but isn't sure if she can make it but she is happy as she has just taken delivery of her new Jaguar XF. Lisa looks like being stuck in Kazakhstan and may not make it to Bournemouth. Naomi C seems to have taken to the roads and is driving to Rome, Paris and Bournemouth.
There are a few tournaments going to get disrupted over the coming weeks.
