yes, indeed surprising that there is no ollie.
perhaps he considered the trek from mexico too taxing and has instead opted for a different schedule.

Liam and Jess have now withdrawn - Liam is playing Futures whilst Jess is down for the Grade 1 event in the Czech Republic which overlaps with the Australian Open. Also Lucy is currently on the list for a competing 10K event, so will have to withdraw from that or the Australian Open shortly.

According to Neil Harman, writing in today's Australian, Oli has actually been barred from participating in the Australian Open as a result of the penalties/default he incurred at the Eddie Herr.

Ah, interesting.

I had been reading in the Mexican article in the Casablanca thread that :  "Oliver hopes in 2011 to become the number 1 junior in the world and to win at least one junior grand slam."

...and thinking you've got to be in it to win it  hmm.gif

ahhh, it's all failing into place now.

That makes sense. We never did get an elaboration on what ollie did at eddie herr, but he better not let it happen again whatever it was.

i thought it was ball abuse and some obscene language...which, presuming neither of those were aimed at a particular person, surely this punishment is over the top? I've never had Golding down as someone who actually gets into incidents with other people...

I favour taking a tough line, but this tough action against a junior serves as a reminder of authorities' spineless handing of Serena Williams' misconduct.

Just saw kyle edmund's itf profile has been updated
http://www.itftennis.com/mens/players/player.asp?player=100156188

Really cool to see he was born in South Africa. It worked for the ECB, hopefully for tennis as well. smile

Why is it cool that he was born in South Africa ? Wouldn't it be better if he was born and bread in this country ?

I think Maza was just making a joke based in the English cricket team's success with several South African born players. Plus i'm fairly sure Edmund was raised in England..

Fair enough, its just I know that every time Kyle is mentioned in the press he will always be described as South African born, which I find extremely annoying given as you say that he has been raised in England.

Are you kidding ? Just about every media piece will have Melbourne born in it or something similar.
