 Lol - nobody else seems to have noticed! It might be a bit difficult to split the thread so I have just altered the title to cover both years.

 

Thanks, Madeline ! (I did actually make a request for this a few pages ago !!! As I said, I have enough trouble getting the year right as it is and, with this thread, my poor brain's been exploding smile)

Two rounds are scheduled for tomorrow, but the second of these could be cancelled if Wimbledon decide to allocate QWCs to the last 4 (has happened occasionally in the past)

R2

(1)Emily Webley-Smith v Harriet Dart
Freya Christie v (wc)Isabelle Wallace

(2)Lisa Whybourn v (wc)Jasmine Asghar
(wc)Gabriella Taylor v (3)Manisha Foster

I like Emily but time for the younger players to come through so it is Harriet I am supporting especially after beating cav. Saw Emily last year at Roehampton she is good on grass but personally unless an upswing in form she will not ruffle feathers in the qualifying there if she survives here

FWIW, my picks are Harriet/Freya from the top half.  Harriet is good on grass but Freya is a better all-round athlete.  In the bottom half I'm going with Jasmine.  She can have good days and bad days but her game is built for grass - wicked flat groundistrokes and terrific timing.  On a good day not much she hits comes back on a fast court.

Random question, but where in Roehampton are the actual qualies played? At the NTC or at Roehampton club?

the qualies are played at the Bank of England Sports Centre, just down the road (south) from the NTC.

 

That's not the same as the Roehampton club (or what I think of as the Roehampton club) i.e. the club at the top of the golf course on the other side of the road.

 

This gives you the map:

Yes, sounds like Lisa beat jasmine and then lost to Gabi.

Brilliant result for Gabi - absolutely no one picked her so, way to go girl!

Of course, just possible that Lisa (and the other SF) might get a QWC anyway.

Shame for Lisa but not a bad return to competitive tournaments.

Hopefully this is an indication she can get back on tour over the summer and get winning again.

The results are up on the LTA site.

Em beat Freya 3-6 6-0 6-3

Jasmine beat Lisa 6-2 6-2, after Lisa had LONG three set match against Jasmine.

Thrilled for Emily to get the WC place.

Do hope the other two go to Freya and Lisa - I think a very good case can be made for both of them.

Looks like Taylor Townsend has a Wildcard to the Main Draw.

Good decision.
