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...


There is no report/messages about Dubai 75K from LTA, why?? It is not normal?!

I would guess it's only because they haven't even finished qualifying yet, not anything more sinister ... indeed, it's not often you get any reports on the LTA site at the weekend at all, they seem to have made a special case of the Orange Bowl.

GTCTennis tweeted to say Tara lost the first set 6-4, but Anna Fitzy is a set and a break up.

I'm guessing that Fitzy went on to win in 2 sets, as the match after hers is already a set old.

There were livescores on bet365 earlier and while I didn't see the final result Fitzy unfortunately lost 4 games in a row to lose the 2nd set 7-5.

Let's hope for a kind draw now. Two of the qualifiers will face wild cards ranked 591 and 370.

That's some win - Chalova beat Heather Watson in Tallinn this summer and was ranked as high as 151 about a year ago. She does seem to have had injury problems over the last couple of months, but still a big win. smile.gif

Anna had the trainer on after the first set. Shoulder problem. Had two match points in the second set. Did very well to come back so strong in the third set and win it so comfortably. I spoke to her afterwards and she didnt seem concerned with the shoulder. Apparently, qualifiers wont play their first round match until Wednesday so could get a rest day tomorrow from singles. Great win !

Tara came up against a very consistent opponent who is on a bit of a roll. Tara was unable to break serve despite her opponent's underarm second serve (which was however incredibly deep each time). Outside chance to get a LL spot if some players dont show.

Decent performance from Tara against a girl on top form and interesting to hear from Howard about potential noshows, hopefully see her in main draw.

Fittzy appears to have stepped it up this week, done enough for me to add her to my 2011 predictions thread.
