The second Spanish G2 has a similar British entry to last week, with Anton Matusevich, Ewen Lumsden, Ali Collins, Gemma Heath, Anna Loughlan and Destinee Martins expected in the main draw. Qualifying started today and jake Hersey, james Story plus Jacob Fearnley have reached final qualifying. Connor Thomson, Oscar Weightman and Harry Wendelken missed out.
I know I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet over it but, having seen her play a couple of years ago, and this year, I really don't think Ali C has progressed in the way she should have done after she dropped out of Sanchez-Casal's in the US and came back home and been training with Nik Slater.

Sadly Gemma retired, but there was better news from the boys today. Both Jake and Anton now play opponents from last week - Jake lost easily last week but Anton upset the Bulgarian seed in 3 Anna is through to the doubles semis.
