Though no draws or results added yet...

I've got a 1st round draw

Romina OPRANDI (SUI) V Olga SAVCHUK (UKR)
Cecilia DELTOUR (FRA) V Eva VALKOVA (CZE)
Evane GRAZIANI (FRA) V Alexandra SELLEM (FRA)
Andrea PETKOVIC (GER) V Charlene VANNESTE (FRA)
Lizaan DU PLESSIS (RSA) V Marta FRAGA (ESP)
Marinne GIRAUD (FRA) V Emilie TROUCHE (FRA)
Ganna BUTKEVYCH (UKR) V Sarah RAAB (GER)
Tatjana MALEK (GER) V Serena BERGOMI (SUI)
Amber JANJUA (USA) V Maria-Jose SANCHEZ-ALAYETO (ESP)
Dia EVTIMOVA (BUL) V Audrey BERGOT (FRA)
Ludivine CASSAGNE (FRA) V Claire ILCINKAS (FRA)
Melanie HAFNER (GER) V Tina SCHMASSMANN (SUI)
Nathalia PAPADOPOLOU (SWE) V Viktoria KUTUZOVA (UKR)
Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) V Pauline PARMENTIER (FRA)
Olivia BELTRAME (FRA) V Kristina GRIGORIAN (RUS)
Anne DICKHARDT (GER) V Elke CLIJSTERS (BEL)

Good luck to Emily Webley Smith. She should certainly be able to win her first match, as she's ranked (in juniors) about 100 places higher than Permentier.
Also, Viktoria Kutuzova's only 13 years 8 months, so she's quite a bit younger than many of the players here, so I'll be interested to see what progess she makes. Her junior ranking's around the 150 mark.

Good luck Elke! :bounce: :bounce:

Another double bagel :eek: Well done Elke, but please this time, don't lose in the next round...


I hope I don't have any scores wrong, I think they put the score next to the player who won. I'm sure Elke won, cause I read it in the daily journal.

btw, there are a lot of pictures in the gallery, I hope they will add some of Elke tomorrow

Good luck Romina, Serena, Tina, and Elke!;)

well done Emily ;)

Kristina :sad: :(
Tatjana lost :eek: :(

The links on the tournament site won't come up for me at all (my browser doesn't think there are any!). I get to the main menu (once you've chosen the language) but can't get any further.
So, could someone please post a direct link to the photo gallery. Thanks!
