Noticed that Steven's tweet mentioning Mela dn Fotzy being seeded was re-tweeted on ITF twitter. That is serious fame!

I was a bit worried that I'd actually written "Mela dn Fotzy" LOL but fortunately not! It's not the first time ITF have retweeted something I've written, but them retweeting the fact that two Brits were seeded in qualifying (and only after they'd both gone out) is seriously random

Due to the much tougher fields so far on this Australian swing, we're not accumulating the same number of ranking points we usually do.
Mel's early season form seems to have tailed off, and Fitzy not quite able to get past the FQR.

 Should Mel do a Sarah Borwell and become a doubles specialist?
