Top 5 women much more encouraging than the top 5 men (excluding Tim and andy.)
Katie's had a great month.
The Brit girls got a bad press but Keothavong did as well as Gajdosova against Jankovic, Bally played miles better vs Srebotnik than Ozegovic, Krajicek bt 8th seed Chavetadze.
If Bally or Anne had faced Gajy or Ozegovy! they may have won a round. We expect so much of them every year but the luck is always in the draw.
If Henman had had Wayne Arthurs or Jonas Bjorkman's draw this year he would definitely be in R3.
Absolutely agree that our top 5 women are better than our top men (not Tim or Andy).
The papers were full of it today calling British tennis. Some players maybe don't deserve the funding/wildcards that they get given. However, in the womens game there really does seem to be progress being made with players like Bally, Naomi and Katie.
Katie was complaining about not having a decent coach with her all the time and that she was told to get into the top 75 before she would get the help she wants. This seems very unfair as in the mens game Boggo has had help from Lundgren for a while now and you can see the progress that he has made. Now that Katie is so close to the top 100 she needs the same level of coaching to help her progress further. Why just the men? We should not lose this chance to help someone get into the top 100. We really need a woman or three up there.
