Anna Popescu was second on the Qualifying list in Tunisia but does not appear on the oop nor the draw but could be in the MD as the no 1 seed in qualifying

was lower than Anna. We shall see.

Good to see Billy Harris on the Thailand M15 Q list. He has no ITF activity since a Thailand futures last November.
Probably taken Billy the first six months of the year to drive there in his Billy mobile
On a more serious note, I wonder if Billy's reappearance has something to do with the return to the old points system. When I spoke to Billy in Spain last year, one of the things at the forefront of his mind was trying to get an ATP point from somewhere so as not to be stuck in the ITF rankings.
Just hypothesizing here but perhaps he felt just fighting for ITF points and not a "real" world ranking wasn't worth it, but now that the points have been restored to Futures tournaments (or whatever they are called these days), maybe this has triggered a rethink.
Would love to see him do well. Very few on the men's side have shown the dedication that he has in the lower circuits over the last few years and when his game is "on" he can play a bit too.

I was speaking to Billy at the Wimby pre-qualies. He has been injured for a while and just coming back to play. Had an accident on a running machine ........

Thanks for the info TL. As CD says, those running machines can be dangerous. Hope Billy can get his season up and "running" though in Thailand.
