Quali's are on live scores - no success for our GB girls so far, but not expecting any except in all GB ties. Naomi's match was live, but has disappeared.
The ITF have changed their URL's again. They've finally come out of 'beta' and removed the 'beta' from the lead ins, replacing it with www.
This sort of change is a massive pain to some people that actually use the site, especially, I imagine people like Steven who will probably have to reconfigure all the links in the top 25 tables.
These are mistakes that web hosting companies were making in 1993 - not having any automatic and seamless redirection in place.
It doesn't speak at all well of the ITF they they still do so today.

Very good comprehensive win for Lucy against a much higher ranked foreign player (and yes why shouldn't we expect our fair share of these), which continues to bode well for her after a long while out.
Another big serving day for Naomi which gives her some breathing space in these tight matches.....in fact she was plus 14 Ace/DF and her opponent minus 3 Ace/DF, which is effectively a 17 point head start in a match where she finished 14 points ahead! I think good serving's major benefit is more the relief of pressure, rather than just the maths. How many times over the last 4 years have we seen Laura Robson go 0-40 or 15-40 down in games with 1 or 2 DFs contributing to over-pressing in the rest of her game......and the opponent barely having to swing a racquet in anger.
