Week 46 - ITF ($10K) - Manchester, UK Hard


Yeah hopefully. I'm off work all week, not sure what day(s) I'll be going, depends on order of play and the matches that are of the most interest. I'll probably aim for when the bright young talents are in action e.g. Freya, Maia,Jasmine and the 2 Katies. Will try and do a bit of reporting too.

The next 10K moves onto Sportcity, Manchester, with plenty more GB players appearing.

Lucy Brown and Anna Smith should be seeded and will be joined in the main draw by Anna F, Katie B, Katy D and Harriet Dart. Jess Renn will probably also make it in.

WC's have gone to Jasmine, Freya, Isabelle and Maia

So we should have 11 in the main draw, plus qualifiers

QWCS have gone to Georgia, India, Beth and Charlotte Pearce.

Qualifying draw should be out around tea time tonight.

 

 As it is fairly local to me, I am hoping to get down Wednesday(from around lunchtime onwards) and possibly Saturday(TBC) and Sunday if we have GB involvement(hopefully Anna shows the same form)  I think Priesty said he was hoping to get down this week as well.

Qualifying draw is now out and quite a few names missing(draw is also not full again)

I assume Jess Renn has made the main draw, but no sign of Lauren, Amy Seargant, Nicole, Sabrina in qualifying. main draw(?)

Just two GB girls guaranteed through qualifying.

Also spotted a new name to me in qualifiers in Emily Crowe who seems to have been at university at ASU

Only Nicole and Sabrina (as well as Jess) were above the top seed in qualifying on the original entry list, so unless one of the main draw WCs came free, I don't think there's any way Lauren or Amy can be in the main draw. I'd be happy to be wrong though!

Can only see Jazzamay and Louise of the GB girls qualifying. Georgia and Nicola may get the closest of the rest.

There's one missing from Peter's list:

QR2: Sabrina FEDERICI (GBR) v Clemence FAYOL (FRA) [2]

According to the French system, Carla is the strongest of the three French girls (although the youngest, born 1996); Jennifer Zerbone (1995) and Clemence Fayol (1994) have the same ranking but Jennifer was better ranked last year.

The main draw is out - the FQR wins/losses can be worked out from that but the scores remain to be filled in (edit: now done) ... all the GB v non-GB matches but one (well done Georgia!) went to the non-Brit but a lucky loser place means 4 Brits survive qualifying:

Final qualifying

FQR: Sabrina Federici UNR lost to (q2) Clémence Fayol (FRA) WR 1203 by 6-4 4-6 6-4 cry
FQR: Nicola George UNR lost to (q3) Carla Touly (FRA) WR 1203 by 1 & 2 cry
FQR: Charlotte Pearce UNR beat Louise Ronaldson UNR by 1 & 3 smilecry
FQR: Kyria Dunford UNR lost to Katharina Hering (GER) UNR by 6-2 3-6 6-4 cry
FQR: Georgia Craven UNR beat Jennifer Zerbone (FRA) UNR by 6-1 2-6 6-4 smile
FQR: Georgia Lawson UNR lost to Nora Niedmers (GER) UNR by 2 & 2 cry
FQR: Jazzamay Drew UNR beat Grace Dixon UNR by 3 & 4 smilecry

Main draw

L32: Katie Boulter WR 777 v (1) Lena-Marie Hofmann (GER) WR 324 (CH 315 last week)
L32: (LL) Grace Dixon UNR v (Q) Carla Touly (FRA) WR 1204 (CH 1203 last week)
(non-GB): Francesca Palmigiano (ITA) WR 693 (CH 637 in Oct) v (Q) Mariam Bolkvadze (GEO) WR 1204 (CH 1186 in Sep)
L32: Nicole Peterson UNR v (8) Michaela Frlicka (GER) WR 692 (CH 611 in Sep)

L32: Harriet Dart WR 1014 v (4) Klaartje Liebens (BEL) WR 586 (CH 583 last week)
(non-GB): Jade Schoelink (NED) WR 755 (= CH) v (Q) Clémence Fayol (FRA) WR 1084 (= CH)
(non-GB): Helene Scholsen (BEL) WR 1039 (CH 1010 in Sep) v (Q) Katharina Hering (GER) UNR
L32: (WC) Freya Christie UNR v (7) Nikola Vajdová (SVK) WR 753 (CH 474 in 2008)

L32: (6) Anna Smith WR 655 v Yuriko Miyazaki (JPN) WR 841 (CH 834 last week)
L32: Katy Dunne WR 731 v (WC) Isabelle Wallace UNR
L32: Anna Fitzpatrick WR 773 v (Q) Charlotte Pearce UNR
L32: (3) Lucy Brown WR 584 v Natalia Vajdová (SVK) WR 1018 (CH 879 in Sep)

(non-GB): (5) Tess Sugnaux (SUI) WR 581 (= CH) v Julia Wachaczyk (GER) WR 690 (= CH)
L32: (Q) Jazzamay Drew UNR v (Q) Georgia Craven UNR
L32: (WC) Maia Lumsden UNR v (Q) Nora Niedmers (GER) UNR
L32: (WC) Jasmine Amber Asghar UNR v (2) Eva Wacanno (NED) WR 531 (= CH)

Having drawn the 2nd seed in R1 last week, Katie gets the top seed in R1 this time ... not a particularly nice draw for the Brits in general at first sight.

H2Hs

Harriet 0-1 v Liebens - 8-6 in a final set tiebreak in Japan last year
Anna 1-0 v Miyazaki - 1 & 1 in Barnstaple last month
Katy 1-0 v Izzy - 1 & 3 in R2 in Loughborough last week

Hmm, quarter 3 a bit Brit loaded, both in numbers and highest ranked. Sbould really be a GB vs GB QF from there.

Three of the Brit v non-Brit qualies finished 6-4 in the third - strange. We got one and lost two so I suppose that's OK - well done to Georgia.

Katie B, Jasmine and Harriet have their work cut out with their draws but Maia should have a chance and interested to see how Freya does too. I'd reckon Georgia to beat Jazzamay and you'd think Anna F should win. Would like to see Lucy actually produce the goods too.

I should be there tomorrow around 10am traffic permitting, so anyone who happens to be there feel free to come and introduce yourselves (I already know Paulisi anyway). I'll probably be wearing my green t-shirt with a tennis racket on the front so as to blend in smile
