Week 30 - ITF (W25) - Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain - Hard
Permalink  

On the entry list, Sam should be in the MD, if she appears, and Emilie was 7th alt. Not clear yet if she is playing this week and has reached the MD, or is having a week off having retired in the singles a couple of days ago (but won in the doubles thereafter). Joanna Garland was higher in the entry list and q2 seed, but no other player higher on the alt list than Emilie is in the q draw. Have no profile info on Nadine. The only Nadine Martinez on the LTA site is just 14yrs. 

QR1: Nadine MARTINEZ (GBR) [WC] UNR/UNR vs Irati URBANEJA SALAZAR (ESP) UNR/UNR Born 2002 (JCH:1464 June 19)

QR1: Aleksandra PITAK (GBR) [q3] UNR/378 vs BYE

QR1: Katarzyna PITAK (GBR) [q4] UNR/453 vs BYE

Spanish rankings have a Nadine Arbaizar Martinez registered with Club Pinter Tennis a few miles away in Sans Sebastian. She has only just turned 14, her birthday being on Wednesday.

In Spain, Sam's presence is confirmed as she is top seed in the doubles with Cristina Bucsa (ESP).

The Pitak sisters are also playing together, unfortunately against the 2nd seeds first up.

Singles MD is out now too. Sam is 3rd seed, in the top half of the draw with her doubles partner Cristina Bucsa, who is top seed. Looks like the FQR matches will only be tomorrow.

R32: Samantha MURRAY (GBR) [3] 320 vs Ioana Loredana ROSCA (ROU) 486 (CH:427 Feb 17)

To note that Emilie Lindh was also on the entry list here but has withdrawn in the end, after retiring from her singles last week, but continuing with her doubles and eventually winning the trophy. But maybe some niggle to recover from. She's in qualifying still for the Spanish W25 hard court event next week.

 Sam and partner play the Pitak sisters later after suitable rest

Well done Ola, another point for her. Both Pitak sisters will regain their rankings 5 August, with Ola's ranking probably about 100 places higher than Kasia's at the moment.

Not sure what happened here, since initially the Pitak's were drawn against the 2nd seeds. Now their draw has gone from bad to awful, playing the top seeds instead of the 2nd seeds.

So Ola is through to the MD but Kasia loses out. Kasia looked like she was staging a come back in the second set and was 3-2 up, but then lost 11 points in a row, ended only when her opponent served a DF, so that was the end of that.

FQR: Aleksandra PITAK (GBR) [q3] UNR/378 def Laura MUNOZ-BAROJA ORALLO (ESP) UNR/UNR Born 2001 6-4 6-1
FQR: Katarzyna PITAK (GBR) [q4] UNR/453 lost to Karen MARTHIENS (FRA) UNR/UNR Born 2004 (JCH:896 May 19) 2-6 3-6

Not a great result for Kasia, losing easily to a girl born 2004, even though she has a very good national ranking.

Just as a sign of the French system, though, Karen has played 74 high level competitive matches in the last 9 months. I wonder how many Kasia has played......

 37 in the last 12 months at ITF level. The Pitaks haven't played much British Tour I don't think.

 Does 37 include doubles? I was only doing singles.

And, no, I haven't seen their names on the British Tour sites either, it's obviously not really their thing (they didn't do juniors at all either)
