Really ? Brill !!!!

(NB who the dickens is Torro Flor ?)

edit: just found her - there's one that obviously never registered . . . or did and has been now lost in the general brain fog . . .

Torro Flor is probably best known for a remarkable unbeaten run on clay in 2012, which got her to the outskirts of the top 100, I think she's also played Robbo at some stage in the past.

Moore reasons to like Torro Flor now.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Oh, very good. Took a second or two to get it though.

Sim · County player

Well Tara should be pretty happy when see wakes up and finds out.

Looking forwards to her next tweet wink

briteny · Intermediate Club Player

So never give up is always tennis goal. Good luck Tara :)

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Great news for Tara. It might even be perfect timing, having herself all but given up on playing she will probably not feel any pressure having got in at the last minute.

TomTraubert · Futures level

pretty good all round Id say

joko vs grace min
then ishuzu or savchuk with mathilde johansson the other seed in section and konjuh also in same group

hev vs arina rodionova QWC
then foretz gacon or patterson - falconi other seed and camerin, simmonds and saisai zheng also in group

tough for tara though
erika sema first then dushevina Q10 or ilona kremen - final Q would be sara tomic, ying ying duan, paszek or karatantcheva

but could have been worse

TomTraubert · Futures level

hev 2nd after 23:00 UK on ct 3 (stream)
joko 4th after 23:00 UK on ct 6 (stream?)
tara 1st after 23:00 UK on ct 15 (no stream)

I think hev has arina (256) not anastasia of the rodionovas

Jiwan · Club Coach

I'm going to try to get there tomorrow. Pending scheduling I'll give you a bit of run down on the shenanigans. I'm no sue Barker (thankfully) but I'll do me best

Since Peter has opened a new thread for the qualifying draw, I'm going to treat this as a "who's going to get into qualifying?" thread and close it so future discussion doesn't get split between the two.
