You're right they haven't posted the Q draw for this week yet.

QR1: (1)Pemra Ozgen (TUR) v Ines Janbakhsh (GBR)
QR1: Svetlana Krivencheva (BUL) v Tanya Noury (USA)

QR1: Nicola George (GBR) v Nicola Slater (GBR)

All Brits in the same section, along with the top seed. Doh!

Nicola Slater tweeted that the other Nicola won 4-6 6-1 7-5. The other Nicola that wasn't the Nicola that won was 5-0 up in the third set.

Dare I say that it sounds like Nik needs to grow up a bit?

indiana · Tennis legend

Hmm, really impressed with Nik Slater's "class" at not getting into any other issues - NOT

Q2: GEORGE, Nicola (GBR) 851 v MCDOWELL, Amanda (USA) 14 602

It looks as if Ines dropped out.

I think Nik sometimes suffers from tweeting too quickly when everything is a little more magnified. Tough loss from 5-0 up tho!

Plus, as everyone who's been to these small events, there's always some weird stuff going on so nothing surprises me in any itf players tweets/blogs

Gee Sally, couldn't you go and play with the big girls over in Midland ?

Peers is not in great form and lost against Lisa last time out, so although I would still make Peers the favourite Lisa has a decent chance here.

Disappointing, Sally a better player on hardcourts as opposed to grass.
