Alicia will get into qualifying at Nottingham, but I suspect with a decent draw will pick up points next week.

I suspect Eleanor Dean may well win this tournament, if she can remain injury free this week.

 Alicia is 10 places off qualifying at the moment, so might need late withdrawals or a wild card. Pity these two have to play each other tomorrow - first match on court 3

Is Alicia giving the tour a proper go? She was a US college student I believe.

Next few weeks should see some of the girls with no ranking or a minimal ranking push on with weakish draws and domestic 10K's coming up.

 This article from the local paper covering Northwestern sports gives a round up of Alicia's college career, some personal insights and at the end states her intention to go for professional tennis

A great read, The O, thanks. Especially interesting about the difference between UK and US natural tendencies

Good luck to Alicia, and her family.

A good start for Alicia breaking Eleanor 0-1
Jazz 3-1

Serve not working yet, only 3/10 first serves in, and 4 DF

Alicia leads 2 breaks to 1

Jazzamay off to a flier at *5-1

Eleanor takes the first set 6-3 by virtue of 4 breaks to 3, despite 9DF and only 1 Ace

Jazzamay wins 2 & 0

Be quite good if and when she habitually serves as she can
