If at first you don't succeed......... Kylie Bilchev has been trying all month to qualify for a Grade 2 or 1 event and this time she has stormed through, losing only a handful of games. Her main draw could have been a lot kinder though. Derrick Chen's looks much more favourable, against a wildcard inexp...

I wasn't expecting to start a separate thread for this, but Tobey Lock has popped up in the main draw courtesy of a wildcard.

Traditionally the COSAT (South American Tennis Confederation) Circuit ended with 2 events in Brazil - a Grade 1 Banana Bowl followed by a Grade A.
