I always find these "other events" threads in the early part of the year interesting - all of the names bar one or two are new to me, I guess it is players suddenly coming into the J60/100 level events or getting to an age where they make more progress.
As the year progresses I get to recognise more of the names, right now it is "who they" territory!
Bravo to Sophie, as Densher says above. Her first title !
J100 Dubai
Max Castle and partner win the final in the doubles !
This is his first doubles title, and at J100 level
J60 Poland
Dan Hughes won his QF and is into the semis
J30 Slovenia
Serena Manca and partner lost their dubs final
J30 Belgium
Emilia & Alice lost their dubs SF
J30 Singapore
Rhys Watters lost in the SF in singles, and in the SF of doubles, with his brother
Interestingly, Sophie has now withdrawn from the next J60 in Durban starting Monday (and it was a PFLWMD on the 25th). I'm guessing this isn't a money issue, as she's played in South Africa so often I'm under the assumption she has family down there. A sign of an ITF qualifying wildcard at Edgbaston?
