Tara is still on the main draw list here but given her tweet yesterday, it seems unlikely that she will be in the main draw when it comes out.
QR1: Emily Webley-Smith WR 423 v Shakhlo Saidova (RUS) WR 666 (CH 651 in Sep)
They met in Trabzon in September and Emily won 2 more games than the 18-year-old Russian only for Saidova to win 6-4 in the 3rd.
GB on a shirt, Davis Cup still gleaming, 79 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming ... 29/11/2015 that dream came true!GB top 25s (ranks, whereabouts) & stats - http://www.britishtennis.net/stats.html
Good luck Team GBR in 2016!!!
This time Emily wins 4 more games than the young Russian, and this time that's enough! QR1: Emily Webley-Smith WR 423 beat Shakhlo Saidova (RUS) WR 666 (CH 651 in Sep) by 6-7(5) 7-5 6-3 QR2: Emily Webley-Smith WR 423 v (q6) Melis Sezer (TUR) WR 351 (CH 345 in Sep)
Edit: to pretend I can actually count ...
Em has a couple of SPs but gets broken back to 5-5
Tie-break time
... and now, somewhat inevitably it seemed, match point to Sezer to her own serve after she mini-breaks againQR2: Emily Webley-Smith WR 423 lost to (q6) Melis Sezer (TUR) WR 351 (CH 345 in Sep) by 6-2 7-6(7) Another one that got away (or at least, multiple chances to take it to a decider got away)
But now some good news ... someone I certainly thought (from her tweet earlier this week) had pulled out has turned up in the main draw: L32: Tara Moore WR 213 v Andreea Mitu (ROU) WR 177 (CH 163 in Feb)
I wouldn't be surprised if she'd forgotten to withdraw to be honest, but hopefully she is here.
