Week 4 - ITF M15 - Antalya, Turkey (clay)

Interestingly I notice that the Challenger this upcoming week is also at club mega saray which is where the ITFs are held. However they have courts at the hotel then also a tennis academy separately a few KMs away. So it might be held there.

Looks like no play today. Weather could stop all play till Thursday by the looks of things.

As expected no play today all 1st round q matches now on the schedule for tomorrow. Although as stated wouldn't hold out much hope of their being play.
Anyone know if there is a cut off for when in a week qualifying can start?

Good to see Billy back with Yan after reaching the final together a few weeks ago. Hopefully a similar positive week this time.

Yeah they did win it! I even watched it and forgot hed won it. Probably confusing it with his final loss in the singles in the tournament before!

Sacha's been replaced by an Italian alternate & itlooks as though Adam's withdrawn, too, so we're down to just Edward & Billy again.

And Edward and Billy are the only 2 men left in across all the events, it seems?

Billy seems to have played so much tennis compared to other Brits. Would be interesting to see the number of tournaments other Brits have played since mid March last year when the tour stopped. If you include money tournaments like the Uk Pro Tour. I make he he has played at least 2 British tours, 6 UK Pro Tournaments and 11 ITF's(incl this week).

8 matches scheduled for each court tomorrow - good luck with that one

Looks like more rain today - they have taken off the ITF schedule and reduced the ATP Challenger schedule at same venue to 12 matches. Hard to see how this weeks ITF events will finish on time if at all?
