RG is almost here :cheer:

In the main draw we will have Sam and Dasha :cheer:
In qualifying we will have Casey :)

Jarka and Ajla out injured :sad:

We will also have an additional player in the MD and the QD because of WCs. (Think the QWC is for not getting anything last year)
The MDWC (and QWC?) will be decided by a playoff next week consisting of Arina Rodionova, Jessica Moore, Priscilla Hon and Olivia Rogowska.

However, TA have barely revealed anything about this playoff besides a small hint in an article so I can't really type any more info out :lol:

I'm really curious as to how the playoff will work. There's no information anywhere whatsoever :eek:

In that article, it said it will be played next weekend (implying only 2 days I guess)

That means that it could be a knockout, 1R on Saturday, the final on Sunday with the winner getting the MDWC and loser getting QWC
OR
TA want to pose their shitty Fast4 format and play round robin :shrug:

Hold up, I just realised it's impossible to play both Saturday and Sunday next week because RG starts on Sunday. Btw, isn't the MD supposed to be out Friday :scratch: how is TA doing this.... :spit:

I wonder if that article meant this upcoming weekend, but Jess could potentially be in a doubles final and Pri is still in London :spit:

Jess is out of the doubles, which the final was for Friday anyway, so she'll be ok for this w/e. Many easy travel options between London and Paris, one hour by plane, so there should be no issues for Pri either.

Where does the quallie w/c come from? Last years was written off when France wouldn't let us down grade the main draw one. Without checking they didn't get a quallie w/c from us this year did they?

Yes, Pri is already is Paris now.

Nope they didn't get a QWC from us this year. They did last year (Ferro) because that was in return for us getting one for Storm in 2014.

I have a feeling that the QWC is for still giving them a MDWC this year despite us getting nothing last year. The men also got a QWC too so probably 2 QWC = MDWC.

Just checked the H2H and last time Moore also beat Hon 16 60 60 :hysteric:

I wonder what would've happened if the draw was reversed (Arina v Hon and Moore v Rogowska)
Rogowska has a 2-1 H2H lead over Moore, and I think Pri would've been closer to beating Arina than she would've been against Moore today.

My bet is that Moore will win tomorrow.

Nicole Pratt on Twitter :lol:

Btw, if Jess loses tomorrow and gets a QWC, but isn't scheduled to play her doubles match in Nurnberg until Tuesday (or say if they somehow won their R1), what happens then. Cause I would believe she's not allowed to withdraw and go play RG the next day?
