Drawn same girl in dubs too. Got 2nd seed in singles and first seed in doubles. Considering Sam got double bagelled that's not the best of luck for the Beddow siblings.

While we are often keen to push players to leave their British comfort zone, one is tempted to wonder whether all of the time (and carbon) expended by the Beddow siblings in their peregrinations is being helpfully used. When Ms Beddow did a series of futures in Greece/Turkey, she actually did quite well. Perhaps a repeat of clusters of tournaments closer to home would be both environmentally/economically friendly and a sound investment in results?

If she is, then I take back my eco comments (and suggestion about doing a block in Greece/Turkey)! And freely admit to the perils of making comments based on too little information.
