You can spare a thought for Madison Peters but in reality she shouldn't have been anywhere near an ITF. I've never seen a match where the games were over so quickly they switched ends without sitting down, including between sets, and where the receiver was standing almost in the service box to receive a first serve.

I didn't see any of the match, but from the comments I am guessing that Madison, aged 20, may be a student in Nottingham who was making up the numbers. Her first ITF match ever, and no ITF junior record either.

I wasn't able to watch it live unfortunately, it stuck out to me when I was browsing the live scores section of ITF streams site. I take it she is just a local club player who signed in?

Anyway, players of dubious skill level participating in the qualies of a 25k ITF event is practically an LTA tradition at this point...

Yes, 100% genuinely, well done to Madison (Maddy?)

The score may well be harsh, but she'll have undoubtedly played a few particularly good points that will stick with her; she'll be able to say she 'played pro-tennis' , she supported British tennis by paying her inscription fee; she was there when so many were AWOL - good on her !

Does anyone know what the qualifying cut off here was at the withdrawal deadline? I ask because I'm confused. Alice didn't withdraw from Nottingham, she was automatically withdrawn. Nottingham was her priority 1 tournament and Osijek her 4th priority. There have been 11 withdrawals from qualifying in Nottingham since the withdrawal deadline, 6 of which have an entry ranking higher than Alice. Her entry ranking of 745 would put her 9th in the qualifying acceptance list. Even allowing for withdrawals she should have been comfortably in qualifying at the withdrawal deadline. As her priority 1 tournament, and as Osijek is also a W25, Nottingham qualifying should have taken precedence over Osijek qualifying. So I'm confused why she was automatically withdrawn from Nottingham and not Osijek. What am I missing?

eta: I'm forgetting about the 9 withdrawals from the main draw. But that still should put her about 24th/25th on the Q acceptance list wouldn't it?

Alice was actually enterd for six tournaments, and was automatically withdrawn from five of them. She was a LWQ from Osijek. I can't find the acceptance lists at the moment but will have a look later as this is an odd one and intrigues me !

Peter too · Tennis legend

The withdrawal list for Nottingham on the ITF site says "AW 11 Apr 2023 W25 Osijek" the one for Osijek says "LWQ 14 Apr 2023" other sites also say "AW 11 Apr 2023 W25 Osijek". So it looks as if Alice or someone else decided on or before the 11th for Alice to opt for Osijek and then changed their mind on 14th.

Wowzer !
