Week 39 - ITF ($10K) - Melilla, Spain Clay

indiana · Tennis legend

This is the only qualifying match. 9 in qualifying meant 7 byes through.

Seems a very sparse entry for a Spanish 10K.

Very sparse indeed - mind you there were 201 withdrawals

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

Spanish but not in Spain ........somewhere in North Africa, I believe!!

Aha, Google tells me an autonomous Spanish city of 12.3 square kilometres pinching a wee bit of Morocco.

Makes a bit more sense.

Ceuta and Melilla are a testament to the hypocrisy of Spain's attitude to Gibraltar (hypocrisy being the default state for pretty much every country's foreign policy).

Someone says this about Ceuta and Melilla Futures every year! wink

I'm surprised nobody has come up with the idea of holding a GB 25K in Gibraltar - Amanda Carreras, for one, probably wouldn't object!

QR1: KIGHT, Beatrice (GBR) UNR lost to WAHL, Dominique (GER) UNR 6-1 6-4

Strongbow · All-time great
