It's true. Tennis is not a meitocracy.

Sam and Ana lost 3 & 2 to the number three seeds

Alicia on court, warming up - live stream available.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

My stream is dodgy but it's a pretty poor match from what I can see - Alicia hitting too many nasty double faults, a bit all over the place, and only taking 1 break point out of 6 so far (against a player with a nor very scary serve).

The Italian is up 6-2, 4-1, and rightly so.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Well, I'd hoped for a closer score but Alicia loses 6-2 6-1

And Sam instantly lost her break too

:(

Michael D · All-time great

Every time Sam had a sniff at winning the 2nd set she promptly lost her serve again. Each player won 4 BPs in the set, and after losing serve for the 4th time to go into the TB, Sam then lost that too. 6-2 7-7(5) altogether, it should have gone to a 3rd set.

Well what a great event. Nobody through to the QF.

Woking should have asked the Irish to hold it in their stead..... cry

I'm afraid that always looked likely - and next week at Chiswick looks even tougher.

indiana · Tennis legend

Never know, next week's another week and we often see for whatever reasons big variations one week to the next.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

At least we've got four players in as of right at Chiswick, as opposed to only two here.

And when is the drop-out cut-off time? I know it's Thursday but is it evening?

the addict · Tennis legend

Well I suppose that the next cut-off time is the qualifying sign-in deadline at 6pm on Saturday. I'm not aware of another cut-off between the withdrawal date (long gone) and sign-in.
And will Katy return from the US to play ?
