We don't normally concentrate too much of qualis of lower events but there's not a great deal of tennis going on and there's a lot of names I don't know, so good to give them all a shout out.....
In Nairobi, J4, in qualis:
Girls:
Maria Ustic (age 13) won her QR1 match 0 & 0 and then lost her QR2 match, 9-11 in the MTB
Gabia Paskauskas (age 15 and presumably the little sister of Kristina?) won her QR1 and QR2 matches but lost out in the FQR
Anjali Kotecha (agge 15) won her QR1 match but lost the QR2
Imogen Haddad should be in the main draw
However, it's the boys who are flying the flag, with two through to the MD, to join the DA four.
Boys:
Maceo Simpson (q7) (age 17) won both his quali matches, including beating the top Q seed 2 & 3, and qualifies for the MD
Thomas Aston (q5) (age 15) also won both his quali matches, including beating the q3 seed, 3 & 2, and also qualifies
Jeevan Samra (age 16) lost his QR1 match
Will Jansen (age 16), Oli Tarvet (age 17), Freddie Ridout (age 17) and Roy Keegan (age 15) should all be in the MD
THat's an interesting list - Roy (who might be playing for Ireland, or England, sites differ) is a very promising youngster, and Will too.
OK, so this is off topic but after comments a couple of week ago that Hep was playing a girl named Noah, and then a girl called Daniel, she's now playing a girl called Liam.
I think the Israelis have got a bit confused.......I think SC needs to go and sort them out. As an act of kindness.

Matt and partner won their dubs SF in a MTB and then:
FINAL Boys Dubs: Matt Rankin & Adi Dagan (ISR) won, 4-6 7-5 15-13 (!!!!!!) - got to love 15-13
In the girls dubs, Hep and partner won their semi, 10-7, and are through to the final
ADD:
Oooh, shoot, looks like it's all confused and Matt's score was for the SFs and they were a round behind. (I swear that the draw had that score in the final box as the result for the final). But, hey, watch this space....
