Entry Week 7 - 13/02/2023

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Portugal Futures: Lots of questions.

Will Billy's rib injury have healed itself by then ?
How many more Brits will get in once the withdrawal deadline has passed ? (plenty on the provisional list)
Will my car make it that far ? Literally just over the Spanish Portuguese border
Is it worth 719km each way and a couple of nights in a hotel ?

Answers on a post card please.

Yep decided a training block and more time at home would be more beneficial. Doha via a Wild Card and Dubai in coming weeks instead.

Darts is showing her as first alternate, so pretty likely that she has made it in.

Harriet now in Doha qualifying, but to be honest, I'd rather she was scheduled to play the 60K. Rybakina, Azarenka, Krejickova, Pliskova - all in the qualifying draw...

I don't think any of these players will actually find themselves in qualifying when it comes down to it. It won't be Rybakina who has pulled out of the tournament. How did a finalist (Rybakina ) in the last 2 of the last 3 Grand Slams find their way into potential qualifying? Something seriously wrong with womens tennis rankings.
