So Naomi is first alt for Preston, but only Tara has made the main draw.
The LTA really need to look at their event schedules for next year. They cannot keep putting on 25K just for Tara, Naomi, Sam and Jade(they are not guaranteed to get in anyway) and likewise there are too many boys waiting to step up to challengers that some of the men's events should be upgraded to 15K or low level challengers.
Yes, I am guessing that it was always a sort of contingency entry. But with Marcus still in the singles and the pair still in the doubles in Thailand...
One amusing line in the article reads "Kokkinaxis advanced to the second round at this years Australian Open, where he pushed World No. 1 Rafael Nadal to three sets."
Reckon that's one achievement even I'd have a chance of matching, extending a best of 5 match to the 3rd set!
