For the past 2 years, Tennis Australia has gone to great lengths to increase the top level competition for aspiring professional tennis players. The step from promising junior to top senior has been made much harder by our isolation and lack of playing opportunities. The Australian Money Tournament Circuit is now in its third year, and has seen the likes of Jarmila Gajdosova, Emily Hewson, Lisa D'Amelio, Mirielle Dittman, Adriana Szili, Karolina Wlodarczak, Daniella Dominikovic, Shannon Golds, Isabella Holland, Shayna McDowell, Holly Cao, Tyra Calderwood and for our Kiwi neighbours, Sacha Jones and Shona Lee, participate.

The first tournament of the 2007 season is the $A15 000 Gosford AMT. A large number of players are vying for championship honours including Lisa D'Ameilo, Tyra Calderwood, Olivia Rogowska, Lara Picone and Michelle Brycki. The preliminary rounds have been completed, and Round 3 action kicks off at 9:30am local time. Doubles is also scheduled to commence later this afternoon. The semi finals and final are scheduled for tomorrow.

Good luck to:
(2) Tyra Calderwood
(5) Olivia Rogowska
(10) Michelle Brycki
Lara Picone

Izzy did manage to win one match though :oh: Maybe she'd improve if she changed her name so that it ended in -ic :lol:

A big weekend for AMTs with the long weekend. A few interesting things:

Izzy Holland took a WC to enter the big one in Darwin and is into the SF. There's not much depth but Dianne Hollands is top seed. I spose Izzy decided to play here on her way to Japan. Nice move.

Sophie Letcher also took a WC to enter the Gladstone one. She won her R1.

Former WTA-ranked player from a few years back Hayley Ericksen popped up on the one in south coast NSW but she lost her R1.

Shannon Stamenovic (nee Golds) playing a Platinum AMT in Grafton at the moment. Is into the final after straight sets wins over Brittany Huxley, Elizabeth James and Tyra Calderwood. She'll play Priscilla Hon or Azra Hadzic in the final.

Surely this means Shannon is thinking about playing some Aussie ITFs...

Not real big upset yet.
Priscilla :cheer:
Interesting QF lineup, Azra v Izzy should be most interesting, followed by the rematch of Priscilla and Sally, then the young guns Olivia and Lizette and then Rachael and Tammi.

From what I saw Azra was getting the best of Bella - but looks like she made a comeback and won 63 75.

Priscilla has beaten Sally 62 26 61 .... she was hitting really well. Sally looked quite slow out there.

Patterson murdered Tredoux 60 61

Olivia upset Lizette 26 75 62. Olivia looked to be a solid/compact little player, Lizette's shots had more wow factor but hugely inconsistent.

The semi's are actually on now. Holland V Hon (wish this was the final) and Patterson V Tjandramulia

Popped back down to see the SF's.

Bella is looking really good. Serve was getting some good depth and Priscilla really had no answer. Won 64 60

Patterson had a struggle with Olivia T. Ended up winning back very sloppy errors.

Will go watch the final tomorrow :)
