Week 15 - ITF ($25K) - Pelham, USA Clay

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

This could end up being a very bad draw.
Cagla has messed her schedule up, and wound up in qualies here. She's 130 places higher ranked than the MD #1 seed, MLDB.
Mandy could therefore end up as the number 2 seed in a $25K, being drawn against WR 108 in the first round

PockyTastic · Futures level

Fingers crossed this doesn't happen, but Cagla really shouldn't be playing here. Yes, she's in a major slump so stepping down to ITF makes sense but there is an 80K this week on green clay that she could have played or a 60K in Istanbul on hard.

No need to panic yet Odds are 8-1 and there is a 50% chance of meeting her in the final should she get there.

Not too bad a draw to start with, but unfortunately could meet Cagla in the QF.

Kounosuke · Intermediate Club Player

Cagla ended up in Mandy's quarter, the 2nd worst outcome, but there's 2 matches before she has to worry about that.

Mandy and Tena Lukas won their first round doubles 4-6 6-4 [10-3] smile

Frances graduated from Vanderbilt last summer but she only started competing about 6 weeks ago. A successful career at Vandy and played quite a lot of pro tennis during her college breaks where she had more success at dubs than singles, winning one 10K title. So UNR might be a bit misleading.

Mandy on clay should be too strong though. She is now showing she is consistent at 25k and above.

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

True...not a lot of clay on the college circuit!!! And I'm not suggesting Mandy is likely to lose in any event, just that the match might not be quite as easy as UNR suggests (let's watch Mandy make a fool of me by winning 0 & 0.......)

Amanda also starts well 2-0

Hope she keeps this standard throughout the match smile

DF · Tennis legend

Amanda takes the first set against the qualifier 6-2

DF · Tennis legend

Amanda wins 6-2 6-4 smile

and will break the 250 barrier

French open qualifying would be an excellent reward! Still too much to do??
