Well done Marni! We now have a grand total of three into the second round of singles. All eyes are now on Talia.
Now, that's a big ask ......
Maybe you need to round up the 'nearly-Brits'
i.e. we could claim Jo Garland for her British dad
And Andre L, coz she lives in the UK
And Ankita, coz she used to play with Emily W-Smith all the time, and they're good friends
And anyone else - all applications welcome
indeed Priscilla would be a good one as she could be an 'hon-orary' Brit

Lol ! Yes it would be an impossible ask!
Doubles well under way, bt probably a late finish.No joy for the P's and E's, but the C's are a set up and the A's are a break up in the second set
Great win by the A's, beating the top seeds. (Results roundup followig soon)

They must have about 30 including outdoor hard, grass and indoors this must be indoors though as they don't have lights on the outdoor courts.
Thanks wolf. I have now checked and it says on their website "40 courts including 11 covered courts, 13 grass courts and 16 outdoor hard courts. "

Maia and Eliz's R2 opponents beat the #1 and #3 seeds respectively in straight sets in R1. All things being equal that could help them though these opponents must be in decent form.
