Lucy & Fran have received a walkover into R2. Nice work if you can get it!


Fran tweeted again to say they've had another walkover. Their odds are showing as 11/4 against. I wonder if they'll payout?

Thats a big call, the bookies will most likely make ALG a big favourite.
I would think ALG will edge it.

Ah, well, y'see, Phil, I'm not a betting woman, so have the luxury of being able to stick my neck out like that & risking ending up only with egg on my face, not a gaping hole in my purse! wink

Doules QF's - bottom half

Brown/Stephenson (GBR) d. (4)Georgatou/Ungur (GRE/ROU) w.o.
Babos/Kremer (HUN/LUX) d. (2)Laine/South (FIN/GBR) 62 75

I was looking at Naomi's section of the draw at thinking she has a good record against a lot of those players in her half. On further inspection she has won her last match against Mel, Nicola, Piter, Floris and Voegele and has only lost to Mel (1-0 against others).

 No sorry, didn't really see much of the match, just checked the score as I was leaving.

 RESPECT. I looked at the odds before the match started and the Russian girl was 13/8 so Bet365 were way off the mark as well.

1 set all in Naomis/Mels match, but Naomi certainly looks the stronger having won the second 6-1 and knowing that she has a good record in coming back from dropping the first set.

Perhaps surprisingly (to me, anyway), Mel took the 1st set in the all-GB match 6-4 but Naomi stormed back to take the 2nd 6-1.

Luckily I am (a betting person, not a woman), and at 13/8 it seemed good odds. Kerchingggg!

A bit to my surprise and a small amount against my pocket, Mel edges Naomi out 7-5 in the third set TB.
Congrats to SMC for taking a bit out of the Bet365 coffers earlier on.

Difficult to know what to make of the Mel - Naomi result, especially given Naomi's really fluctuating recent form.

From a Brit point of view, of course we hope that it was mainly due to Mel coming into some better form.
