Weeks 27 onwards - UK Pro Series - St George's Hill, Weybridge - (Outdoor Hard)


So, if I've got this right, today - from 10 am onwards (one match at a time) - we've got:

Jodie v Beth
Naomi v Dani Daley
Eliz v Emily Morton
Eden v Kim Mpukusa
Alicia v Freya
Tanysha Diss. v Emily App.

 It may be me but I find instagram insufferable! 

 

How did you manage to find an oop and where? Is there a mens also?

Just from Bet365, Jon.

Tanysha v Emily App will be interesting. Curious to see if Danielle makes any impression on Naomi too.

Looks like Danielle Daley has replaced Sashi Kempster from the original line up. Bookies providing you with all the entry lists and scheduling info in 2020...

Would it be wrong of me to suggest that given the impressive prize money on offer, the organisers will be a bit disappointed with the line up, especially when you compare it to next week's Progress event, or even last week's BT event?

It's basically typical GB W25 qualifying matches bar Jodie and the odd MDWC (which unfortunately Naomi fits into these days).

Tanysha vs Emily is probably the match I'm most looking forward to as well, and I agree with the bookies that Freya vs Alicia is probably the closest on paper, although going off last week, you'd probably fancy Lissey more, so 4/6 (or 1.67 CD) could be a bit of value. I hope not, but Beth could maybe give Jodie a game, especially as it's Jodie's 5th match in 5 successive days (although I suppose Beth did her fast 4 stuff yesterday).

Emily and Kimberly are more than likely making up the numbers, but yes, Danielle could maybe be slightly interesting for Naomi. Bet365 have her a big 13/2 outsider, but you never know with Naomi, and while DDs W15 and 25 results are nothing flash, she did beat a circa 500 player in qualifying earlier this year, which is kind of where Naomi is now, but other results suggests the long odds are probably justified.

I'll be watching a fair few of these matches, and good that they all seem to follow on.

"Here we go - the UK Pro Series Tournament is officially on!

OOP in the pictures

Good stuff. Hopefully the LTA or that LTA Competitions Twitter handle can retweet stuff throughout the day to spread the word a bit more, and improve the visibility.

Who are people tipping to make the semi finals?

I'll go for Jodie and Eliz (just pipping Naomi) in Pool A, and probably Eden and Lissey in B.

 

Edit - actually, just turned the stream on and remembered it's indoors, so I'm going to be boring and say Jodie and Naomi, so I'm basically picking the top 4 ranked players.

 It does indeed seem they are playing indoors!

I am not sure if that is going to be the case each week of the 6, so will change the titles to just read hardcourts..

At least indoors means no rain delays so we can gauge our watching properly

(Although the forecast is not bad)

But, yes, takes out the wind variable....

This is a great opportunity for the kind of middle of the pack younger girls. We'll see some of the players fairly regularly on W25 streams throughout the year, but for the likes of Tanysha, not quite so much, so for those to have at least 5 matches on streams (or more if they playoff for final positions) is a pretty big deal, although saying that, the current YT viewer rate isn't going to crash any systems.

Good start for Beth here.

 Just checked - 41 watching the women and 21 watching the men (and some of those of course are the same people)

The numbers for last week (which was nicer watching, in a way, being outside) seemed to average about 50-70, from what I could see, so I guess the numbers here are not bad for day 1.

NB just as an aside, the betting sites have now taken down all the games - there was definitely something funny going on with the Jodie v Beth game - don't know if that has anything to do with it - but all streaming and betting has been taken down.
