Week 29 - ITF ($25K) - Granby, Canada - Hard


Going to Canada for events like this is usually a good move - while still a good standard, they tend to be slightly weaker than the equivalent US and European events because the Americans seem to shun them. 

L32: Emily Webley-Smith WR 415 v Miharu Imanishi* (JPN) WR 356 (CH 352 last month)
L32: (7) Naomi Broady WR 306 v Qualifier
L32: Jade Windley WR 347 v (5) Misa Eguchi (JPN) WR 294 (CH 213 in 2012)
L32: (3) Samantha Murray WR 231 v Nika* Kukharchuk (RUS) WR 624 (CH 456 in May)

The Brits are in the middle quarters. The top two seeds (and the only entrants in the top 200) are Rogowska and Coin.

Only Emily is due to play singles tomorrow (on Court 8 after James) - she beat Imanishi 1 & 6 in the Bronx last year but the Japanese player is on the up and won the Bukhara 25K last month.

* both spelt (i.e. transliterated) as on ITF rather than as on the drawsheet on the tournament site

Edit: updated with the new rankings, which came out a few minutes after I posted!

In the doubles with Jade and Sam honours are more or less even, I can't really say its going with service as 4 games out of 9 have gone against service. *4-5

8 DFs already! Hhhhmmmmm.

By the way, there are 11 Japanese players out of 32 in the MD of an event in........Quebec. Long way from home. All a bit odd!!

It got worse (Emily went *3-5 down in the 2nd) but then she won 3 games in a row, ended up in a tiebreak and won it 7-2 1 set all

Ehm are you sure Steven? My scores have her losing 6 in a row?

ITF livescores being cruelly wrong again

It showed Emily 4-0, 5-1 and 6-2 up in the tiebreak, then showed 3-6 7-6(2), then when I was about to close the livescores window, it still showed 3-6 7-6(2) but also 6-6 as the points score as if the 3rd set was a MTB (which obviously it couldn't have been) and then finally came up as her opponent winning 6-3 7-6(8)

Presumably she was 6-2 up and won the next point only for it to be overruled and the scoreboard is still glitchy when that happens. Gutting, anyway, after that comeback from the almost dead in the 2nd and then being so far ahead in the tiebreak.

I didn't see any scores between 1 set all 6-6 and the 3-6 6-7(8) so bet365 was probably right, though it still shows 10-8 in the 2nd set tiebreak on ITF livescores.

What a mess though - it's very disconcerting because it always seems to go wrong at the worst possible time - clearly some problem with correcting a point when it going the wrong way ends a set.

Unfortunately, they all lost in the doubles too . . .

Lena LITVAK (USA) / Carol ZHAO (CAN) won 6-2 6-4 v Naomi BROADY (GBR) / Olivia ROGOWSKA (AUS) [4]
Marie-Alexandre LEDUC (CAN) / Gloria LIANG (CAN) won 7-5 2-6 [11-9] v Samantha MURRAY (GBR) / Jade WINDLEY (GBR) [2]

the Canadian duo will be especially thrilled to have beaten the number two seeds . . .

For the GB girls, there's a bit of everything:

Jade a break down
Sam was a break down and broke back now on serve
Naomi 4-0 up and smiling

 

and 10 mins later:

Jade carries on getting broken

Sam carries on trading breaks, and

Naomi carries on winning games
