Oh, that's a shame

Happened earlier this year at a GB tournament when I was trying to find out some scores, they wouldn't go over and look even though the tournament office was just a few metres away, in the end they told me to piss off

Greenleaf, who's Michelle LDB ? Please enlighten me on how she's so fearsome

she won Eddie Herr U16s at the age of 12 or something crazy like that....

Michelle Larcher De Brito is one of the scariest prospects female tennis has seen for a while.

That girl is 13 but is ranked 95. And that too after playing just five main draw tourneys!!

She won Eddie Herr 16&U at the age of 12 last year, breaking Sharapova's record of doing it at 13.

She won a G2 last month. She took Pavlyuchenkova to a tie breaker and took a set off Julia Cohen. She will be pretty unstoppable next year.

Michelle thumped the world number 24 - 62 62.

I am listening to the phone convos courtesy of YIM.

The pople at the helpdesk are really helpful.

Christ! I suspect that she wasn't permitted to play any more tourneys that that because of her age so she should really be ranked a lot higher than 95. I'd like to buy shares in that one!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Michelle was allowed to play a few more tourneys. 13 year olds are allowed 10 tourneys a year (4 additional if player achieves a top 50 ITF Junior ranking).

Do buy the shares.

Jade can't afford to get scared. She defeated Ula Radwanska and I am pretty sure that if Ula met Michelle now, Ula would come out on top.

Salmon · Tennis legend

My guess was correct.

Jade will play Yucatan. Tara is also on the lists.

Either the Casablanca lists aren't out, or I can't get them because I don't speak Spanish. Help me if you can:

I don't speak Spanish either, but I think they are saying something like "coming soon" for players entered and draws.

Salmon · Tennis legend

That should be it.

The fact sheet says that players won't be sorted into main draw and qualies draw till the 4th or the 5th of December. Many sites don't release the lists till they are sorted.

Jade lost to Michelle Larcher de Brito 7-6 2-6 2-6... she's still around in the doubles too...
