Ouch !

I pity the Pitak's, Jos and Maria at Ilkley, and now the top seeds.

I really don't like this event.
How are the points working.
The idea of the ITF is consistent 32 draws throughout.
On the WTA they can have more, with separate points structures, but not fewer.
What are R1 winners receiving?
Is the winner getting the same points as someone winning another $100K+H, even though they have played a round less?
I appreciate the demand they're trying to fill in this particular week, but this invitational, with special rules is a dangerous and unnecessary precedent upon what was a realtively stable infrastructure for draws and points.

Is there ever a British event for which KB and LR don't get a wildcard? The most favoured of the favoured! I wonder why?

Also are points awarded for 1st round losers-singles and doubles?

Points for each round of a ITF $100K+H 16 entries in main draw:- 1, 28, 55, 90, 150

The table doesn't specify the points for a $100K+H doubles but I assume it will be:- 1, 55, 90, 150

rain delay? No attempts to cover court though .

Laura consistently being able to be competitive against solid top 100 players, but not quite good enough, going back to lower grade itf's after Wimby should be ideal, and I suspect by the time of the US open, she maybe able to win some of these types of matches.

She hasn't lost this one yet. Or has she ? I agree with the general sentiment though, it does appear that way and you have seen her play live so definitely have a better picture.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Absolutely not lost yet, and fingers crossed she can win the final 2 sets, but there does seem a general trend developing, but one with an upward curve which is encouraging.
