Week 26 - Wimbledon, Women's Qualifying - Grass

seagull · Hall of fame

Katy Dunne v Cornet!

PaulM · Tennis legend

Let's focus on the girls getting through one round rather than worrying they could meet in the final one!

Some good draws (I like Katie's section), but a few of the girls drawing seeds (although not necessarily particularly scary ones).

That's where I'll be - just waiting for the OOP to come out.

Hmm the OOP is not a good one regarding the only streamed court (IMO). If you are there though- enjoy court 3!

BTW, I won't be doing any updates on either Tuesday or Wednesday

I feel like Katie Swan is our best hope of an overall qualifier

Hi All. Quick question, Im going to qualifying on Wednesday and trying to decide how best to get there. Is there any parking available? Im coming in from Essex so could also get the train to Barnes station.

Parking can be a nightmare - there was a discussion in the men's qualifying thread (I think). I'm also travelling from Essex and usually change at Stratford to the Jubille line and go round to Waterloo to get to Barnes station. And it's a long walk uphill to the ground........

Ranah probably has the trickiest opener, Kawa has had a couple of good wins on the grass. But every one of these is very winnable - could get 8 wins, could get zero!

I'm surprised that Katy D v Alize Cornet is not on the streamed court. Just Emily App from a British perspective. Lois Boisson and Iva Jovic I quite understand, but Udvardy v Saville would not have made my quartet.

It is pretty annoying that they have put the four of them on court 3 (that was the court Katy was on last year). There are supposed to be 132 seats, but not a lot of standing room between courts 3 and 4. And the bank by the NTC is the far side of court 4. They ought to have spread them around a bit more, but at least none of them are on courts 7 to 16, where viewing is extremely limited - that would have been utter madness.

So a Britfest on Court 3. Not a huge amount of seating there and standing can be quite a few deep for a popular match.

Ah, TA just beat me with a bit more detail.
