Week 4 - ITF ($10K) Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Hard

Amanda Carreras plays a tournament on a surface other than clay!

Two late WC's mean that Mandy is not the #1 seed, as had looked likely. Any run of MD wins between now and the end of April should see Mandy climbing up and up and setting new CH's along the way.

 

R1: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) [3] 335 vs. Alix COLLOMBON (FRA) 747 CH 724

H2H: 0-0

 

She will also be playing in the doubles with Beatriz Morales Hernandez (ESP).

Disappointing lack of Egypt based puns so far so: Amanda has a phar-aoh draw here and should make the next round.

That's pretty poor though so surely someone can do better.

Mandy also won in doubles 7-6(4) 6-3

In the QF they meet #1 seeds Marozava/Pashkova (BLR/RUS)

More singles wins will jump her up the rankings pyramid, whether by Luxor by judgement. If so, we'll just have to exclaim "Giza!, Mandy well done!
I hope no one Suez me for emotional distress because of the awful tortured puns, or I sphinx I'll have to call my lawyer.

[at this point the speaker was forcibly removed from the stage

Let's hope Adam isn't a Tefnut to crack.

Aw Man! Wasn't expecting that, at all.

I hope Amanda pushes on this year again, like last year. It was good following her, as she made regular progress.

 She is proving to be so far - Amanda lost the 1st set 6-4, recovered by taking the 2nd 6-2 but is an early break down in the 3rd 1-2*
