nice opening match for Masha vs Dubois :)

i dont understand,

Arvidsson is in the main draw and qualifying...?

tough draw for Nina :sad:

Did not expect to see Vögele or Sevastova here. I assume Nastja received a feed-up from the $100K+H she won in South Africa (can't remember the city, was it Jo-burg?).

Good draw for Ula.

what happened to jill craybas?

GL GB girls!

Kinda clustered together :scratch::rolleyes:

Best chance though!

Sevastova from Johannesburg I presume.
Sofia got in MD last in :yippee: probably replaced by an ALT in qualifying.

Good Luck:
MariaK
Bally
Vania
Masha
Beth
Nastja

what happened to jill craybas?

she w/d yesterday

2 all Brit matches

Lil Masha....... expecting another 1r loss :help:
Masha has a decent draw :)
Nastya got a Brit in her opener too.

The Brits always drawing each other :lol:

Tough draw for Bethanie.

Paszek pulled out?

I hate this draw. My two favourite players here are draw to face each other in the 2nd round.

So typical :mad:

Good luck, MariaS!

Go Kaia, Barbie, Bally, Mariya, Masha, Bethanie & Anastasija ;)

Good luck Kiri and Masha S:yeah:

Good Luck:
MariaK
Bally
Vania
Masha
Beth
Nastja
Kaia :eek: Second Seed! :D

Good Luck:

Ive realised that Sofia Arvidsson is in the qualies, but is also in the main draw. Does anyone know whats happened here.

Her spot in Q got replaced by an ALT.

Thanks :). Do we know who the ALT is ?? :)

Win this Maria :rocker2:

Jie :scared:

I was expecting a stronger field. :shrug:

Thanks :). Do we know who the ALT is ?? :)
WTA Tour website had a revised OOP where Abigal Spears had replaced Sofia, but no alt was IN. Spears' first opponent was removed from OOP, but now I get the old OOP...

I was expecting a stronger field. :shrug:

Yes, me too. :lol:

I was shocked to see Zheng and Kanepi #1 and #2. :p

Two all Brit matches? :lol: :scratch:
And another Brit drawing Ditty! :spit:
I love this draw :devil:

Urghhh the Brits vs eachother :fiery: Hope for good runs here but...:(

Good Luck

BREMOND, Severine FRA

Not liking the all Brit matches, but at least we'll have 2 brits in the 2nd round. Cavaday can take out Ditty on grass so that should be a good match.

I was expecting a stronger field. :shrug:

like who else ?

apart from Sharapova other top 10's cant play here as they already played a MM event.
most of rest of top 20 are scared of grass.
only suprise was Bartoli didnt come for more crepes.

At least a couple of Brits will reach the second round I guess... Mel drew Fitzpatrick last year and Borwell back in 2006 :lol:

Thanks, but now i think i'm even more confused than before :lol::p

(7)Sofia Arvidsson SWE got replaced by (17)Abigail Spears USA, she plays Curtis now.

Abigail Spears' spot in Q became a BYE. Duque-Mariño is in the next round.

A. Spears replaced Arvidsson, Mariana Marino got a BYE, no ALT was in. (Just weird there was no ALT there...)

No ALT? That's wierd. And if anyone was going to get a BYE it should have been Dulgheru being the top seed

No ALT? That's wierd. And if anyone was going to get a BYE it should have been Dulgheru being the top seed

its ever that case

Duque was meant to play Spears
Spears got moved into a seed slot vacated by Arvidsson
Duque vs alt .............. but no alt :confused: :help:
not even someone like a Priska or Brie bothered :tape:


still cant believe Lexy didnt turn up here, maybe she lost her mother in the airport and wouldnt leave without her.

The highest ranked player (#17) replaces the seed that moved to MD. Mariana just got lucky that #17 was her opponent.

But yes. Strange that there's no ALT.

Thanks for the explanation guys! :D:bounce:

Btw, TBE...Lexy is playing the 25K in Texas this week ;)

Win it all Maria S:banana:!

love jie and na's draws. :drool: :hearts:

I have a feeling Zahlavova Strycova will make semis at least :) :)

:( I thought Daniela Hantuchová was supposed to be playing here?

Anyone notice that Maria S and Kudryatseva are on course for a meeting in the 4th round? Bring it on!!

like who else ?

You're right. I totally forgot about the Trainwreck Roadmap requirements. :lol: Still, it would have been nice to see more girls in the 20-30 range try to win a title.

GL to Jarka & Na :)

Qualies are being played indoors, hope it clears for the main draw.

hopefully steffi does not have to play Dulgheru, that'd be too much bad luck!!!

Any withdraws in the md?

Any withdraws in the md?
Mara Santangelo has withdrawn with a back injury and will be replaced by a Lucky Loser. Yaroslava Shvedova was to play Mara, and will play a qualifier or the LL.

This is a shitty draw for the American and Brittish ladies. :-(

Mara :bigcry:

no sugiyama?

Anyone notice that Maria S and Kudryatseva are on course for a meeting in the 4th round? Bring it on!!
Kudryavtseva won't make it that far and, anyway, "4th round" in this tournament is the quarterfinal.

no sugiyama?
No Sugi. Ai is in the Eastbourne MD, though.

Revised: Ai, though not in the singles draw, is playing doubles at Birmingham with Ayumi Morita.

very tough draw for Queen Bethanie but hopefully she can pull it out. :)

Are LL spots decided by putting the 4 losers names in a hat and pulling one out or just the highest?

i cant believe daniela isnt playing here! :mad: wtf is she doing? anyway, GL to maria playing against the littlest radwanska in the 1st rnd. love u maria! :hug:

Highest ranking.
