Quite a turnaround there for Fitzy and Emily did pretty well to take Laine to 3 sets.

Some great wins for Tara. Good to see Fitzy back in some decent form - shame one of them had to lose. As for Em, well pushing Laine, who's a tricky customer, so soon after her recent ankle injury scare is good in my book. I'm really hoping Em can have an injury free 2011 and finally take a good crack at getting into the top 250.

Four UK players in qualies. One supported by Team Aegon. Which three performed best?

I don't mean a jest at Naomi B- good luck to her, and it is now good the LTA is funding her. More a comment on the wonderful insightfulness of the LTA with respect to at least one of the others...

HC, you need to look at the Team Aegon thread.
