Eden is on the list of acceptances but doesn't appear in the Q draw.
Re: Eden, did I dream it or is this tournament held at the club she plays for in the French league? She could have received at WC?
On their website Marta Sirotkina and Justine de Sutter are listed. No reference to Eden.

Clearly I was dreaming then.... Eden did get a main draw WC last year but maybe it was due to other connections or something.

Well, there is an instagram picture of her in a football stadium at Saint Gaudens, France, so maybe you are not! I guess we'll see soon enough.

I think you are right, Eden does (or did last year anyway) play for Sant-Gaudens, so there is a connection.
On the club website, Eden is still in the qualifying list at no 16, so we'll have to wait for the main draw to see.

Beth's match can be watched here: www.youtube.com/watch
It'll be starting any moment now.

Thanks for the link - I saw one point, then it rained. Blowing a gale there, going to be tough going if they get back out today

Still windy, making it difficult, but a fair bit of sunshine. First set to Beth 6-3

Michael D · All-time great

Had a quick look and it does look rather windy wild. Also there is an electronic scoreboard at the far end with St Vitus Dance. There is also no score showing on the screen, maybe fuse is blown wink

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

Eden has a MD WC and will play 6th seed Patty Schnyder.

In the doubles Beth and Olivia will play Eden who is partnering with Katarzyna Kawa who Beth beat in QR1.

Not dreaming Pocky, Eden played for the st Gaudens team last week. See league thread.
And she probably is today too.
Not surprising they give their players wildcards

Serving for the match, looking a very solid performance, 6-3 *5-4

blob · All-time great

Done! 6-3 6-4

Quasi-Brit, Naiktha Bains also progressed.

the addict · Tennis legend

Not quite a solid performance - Beth was 0-4* in the second set.
But a great fight back to take the last 6 games

paulisi · Tennis legend

Beth plays Sizkova for a place in the main draw.

Except the only league thread I could find CD doesn't say WHICH league team she is playing for? Maybe i'm looking in the wrong place under General Discussion?
