Tara's route to the main draw is challenging to say the least. This first match is going to be no pushover whatsoever, and then likely opponent in QR2 is one Abbie Meyers, conquerer of Naomi Broady this week!! Abbie doesn't even have a q rank. QR1: Tara MOORE (GBR) [q2] 444 vs Ayumi MIYAMOTO (JPN) 833 (...

Emily and Harriet have both drawn a qualifier. Qualifiers yet to be decided. Harriet is seeded 4. They are both in doubles, Emily with Nika Kukharchuk and Harriet with Ankita Raina. Harriet+ is seeded 3. Unfortunately they meet in the 1st round. -- Edited by RedSquirrel on Monday 7th of May 2018 09:37...

Spain and its not clay. Beth into the second round of qualifying, with just one match to win to reach the main draw. Whoever she plays will be unranked. Katie S should be in the main draw. QR1: Sarah Beth GREY (GBR) [q2] 610 vs BYE

Well, I guess Emilie has made some progress this week, because for next week she gets a bye in QR1! There are only 4 QR1 matches, the rest are byes. Amelia gets one too, and Nell Miller should be back in the MD again. So two wins needed for Emilie this week to get a ranking... QR1: Amelia STUART (GBR) vs BYE Q...

Em will start her qualifying matches tomorrow, QR1 and QR2 both being scheduled. I'm slightly surprised Emily is here when there were some very light field 25k events in Europe - she would probably have got into the main draw in Tbilisi, which is a lovely city too. Here at Gifu, she will have to beat high...

My views (taken from another site, but this sum things up perfectly): I've always been bored witless by women's tennis. It is slow, populated by women with sturdy thighs and puntuated by noises I only make when badly constipated. However, I've been reading this site from quite a while a...
