julie vs hannah 1st round.

Julie should win it, but its a shame that one of them must go out so early - both deserve and could reach qf.

Paul

other players who MUST withdraw are:

Vinci (as Eggy said)
Asagoe (still playing doubles)

There are about 6 other players that could have been forced to withdraw, but they all lost - lol.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a couple more pull out, even those that dont need to.

Paul

First grass event of the seasons for Mi-Ra. Let's see how she behaves :) .

Question for TBE or anyone else in the know...

what happens now for people who pul out like Robi - are more Lucky Losers drafted in or do their opponents get R1 byes?

Also, anyone got the OOP? I want to know what time I have to get up! Still its only a 15 min drive!

If anyone has any q's about tomorrows matches then make sure u do so b4 10 am GB time tomorrow!!!!!
:wavey:

looks like with Vinci and Asagoe out, Kolbovic and Sewell move up as LL's.

anyway best of luck to:

*Miho Saeki
*Allison Bradshaw :D
*Hannah Collin
*Irina Selyutina
*Christina Wheeler
*Mi-Ra Jeon :D

This tournament definitely needs an upgrade in status I believe. Always gets a good turnout.

Where's Flavia? :confused:

She's not in Caserta either.

Why Shinobu Asagoe play at this tournament? Does she think
doubles in RG will lost? If she think she will not be more good player.

good luck:

Alexandra Stevenson :D
BRYANNE STEWART :D :D :D :D
Laura Granville :D
Rachel McQuillan :D
Vanessa Webb
Tara Snyder

She isn't playing here anymore because she is still in the doubles at Roland Garros! But most players have a back up in case they do lose early in a GS - the lower ranked players often enter into a tournament that is scheduled in the second week of a GS just in case they do lose, and that means they still have somewhere to play in the second week.

Goodluck to Wynne, Lee. Hope better result here

So disappointing Rika Fujiwara can't defend her title. Her ranking is going to suffer. :mad:
Pity Shinobu can't get some extra points either.

Good luck to:

* Miho Saeki (JPN)
* Mi-Ra Jeon (KOR) :bounce:
* Yoon-Jeong Cho (KOR)
* Akiko Morigami (JPN)
* Janet Lee (TPE)
* Saori Obata (JPN)
* Wynne Prakusya (INA)

Why is Alex playing here?? She could have at least played the $50 in Italy.

This is grass... :p

Good luck to Mi-ra!

2nd round against Irina would be tough. Hope that she makes some noise in the draw.

Go, Mi-ra!
:bounce:

Good luck Ansley !!!!!

also.. Wynne and Abigail

Best of luck to:

:D Rachel McQuillan
:D Bryanne Stewart
:D Cindy Watson
:D Christina Wheeler

BTW - this is first time play a challenger event for Rachel McQuillan since West Palm last year! :o

Good luck to all the players Alex Sydney mentioned ;) Especially Christina!

Hey theres a picture of me on the Surbiton homepage!!!

http://www.lta.org.uk/SurbitonTrophy/st_01home.htm

thats me behind the bloke wearing the cap!!!!!


Congrats jane thats a great win. I saw her play doubles quals with Anna Hawkins yesterday and she had a bit of a mare 4-0 4-1 but her singles form lately has been wicked!!!

Hannah Hannah Hannah. hmm

Lucie Ahl is currently 4-4 with Elodie Lebescond

Wynne won :) 6-2, 6-3

Abigail Spears 6-3 3-1 Kolbovic

go Abi ;)

Good start Wynne. Good warming-up for Wimbledon.
Bad luck for Cho.

Selima Sfar v Vanessa Webb starting

Obata v Snyder also on

Julie Pullin has been playing very well on grass recently. I hope she can translate into maindraw tour wins this grass court season.
Bad luck Kelly. Wynne was always going to be too tough.
Nice win for Jane. Evgenia still must be feeling the clay under her feet.

Lucie won 6-4 6-1

Nicole Sewell d. Yoon Jeong Cho 6-3 2-6 6-4 :)

Abigail 6-3 4-6 :(
fight Abi

Snyder 2-1 Obata

Tara Snyder 5-2 :)
Selima 4-1 Webb :)

Abigail 2-3 in 3rd :(
fight Abi

Tara 6-2 :)
Selima 6-2 :)

Abi 5-6 in 3rd

omg Nicole :eek: That is a great win! Should give the old rank a bit of a boost ;)

Yoon Jeong...is she just bad on grass or just in terrible form? She wouldnt have lost this 6 months ago.

Tara 6-2 1-1

Abigail lost 7-6(5) in 3rd :(

Abigail, thats really disappointing :(
she had this

Bravo Wynne and Lucie

Obata levels it up 6-2 in 2nd

Selima 6-2 4-6
fight Selima

Selima 4-3 in 3rd :)

Tara 3-3 in 3rd

I actually expected Cho to lose this. Her style of play is to plant herself 8 feet behind the baseline and throw up topspin moonballs. It's terrible on a grass court. When she did this against Hlavackova in US Open Qualies, I actually fell asleep!!! They both had the exact same game. A 7-6 7-5 match took close to 3 hours!:eek:

Allison!!! How did she lose that!? This girl has been a waste of valuable oxygen for the past 6 months!

Webb 5-4 in 3rd

Tara won 6-3 in 3rd :)
6-2 2-6 6-3 :)

Jane :bounce:

jane :D

lucie :hearts: :D

julie :kisses: :D

Helen/Vicki lost to top seeds Selyutina/De Viller 46 63 61 :sad:

Tough draw, hopefulyl LTA will give tehm a WC into wimbledon main draw, theyve been made to qualify for the part 5 years!!

Elena/Lucie about to start :)

Paul

Yoon-Jeong and Saori, extremely disappointing. :mad:

Bradshaw, I doubt Yoon-Jeong plays like that all the time. Against moonballers, sometimes the best thing to do is to the same thing, if you're confident of out-moonballing them. :rolleyes:

You could be right. I've only seen her play that match, so that might be an inaccurate statement. But her game seems to be like Koulikovskaya's, in that she stands way behind the baseline until she gets a short ball that she can drive. With the looping shots she hits though, grass wouldn't seem to fit her game well.

Well done Julie, Lucie, and Ansley (yesterday;) )

Good luck

Julie
Lucie
Jane

for the rest of the tourney:D

congrats Miho, Christina, Mi-Ra, Laura, Rachel, Vanessa, Renata, Ansley, Tara, and Wynne :D

too bad for Allison, Hannah, Irina, Bryanne, Selima, Abigail, Anne, Elena, and Kelly :(

Well done Lucie! :D

This thread is going to be huge!:eek: :eek: :eek: Four pages for a 25k challenger and its only the first round!:eek:

Good luck to Kim Grant and Abigail Spears. They are fighting well against the Asian girls, and I hope that, refreshed after an overnight break because of rain, they can now finish it off. Poor Abi had to play 5 and a half sets yesterday, losing her singles on a final-set tie-break.

(Due to bad weather there will be no grass court play at Surbiton today, the order of play for Thursday will be published as soon as possible)

Damn

Good luck Wynne!!

:mad: @ rain in Surbiton! ;)

they moved indoors, but only doubles was played.

Paul

Weldone Tara for winning Obata :)

Good luck next round!

Where do they play indoors? Surbiton doesn't have indoor courts, does it?

darn it !!!

Good luck Ansley !!!

R1: McQuillan/McShea def. Kolbovic/Schmidt 7-6 6-4
R2: McQuillan/McShea def. Bradshaw/Grandin 7-5 6-3
QF: McQuillan/McShea vs. Pullin/Woodroffe

Hard luck Jane, but you put up a good fight :)

Paul :D

Well, I was interested in the women's doubles, but as it was a non-spectator venue I had to miss it and I don't suppose any fellow Board contributors can enlighten me either...
Hopefully if it's dry tomorrow they'll be back out on the grass - fingers crossed...

Jane :sad:

Lucie Ahl (GBR) d. Wynne Prakusya (INA) 63 63

Lucie :)

Good luck Julie against Alex 2morrow

And Lucie against Snyder

If it is grass i think biht can win. If it is played indoors i dont think Julie has a hope in hell.

Shaem jane didn't win, coz we'd ahve had a Brit in semis for definate.

Paul :D

congrats Christina :)

too bad for Wynne and Mi-Ra :(

Another bad luck happened to Mi-ra. :( :sad:

She lost in semi last month in Japan due to rain ( from syn Grass to indoor) too.

Good luck in Wimbledon qualies!
:D

Great win Lucie:)

Good luck to Julie tomorrow:D

Wynne :(

Mi-Ra :sad:
Another close loss to Wheeler. I'm confident she would have won if it was played on outdoor grass. :rolleyes:
Eric, do you think she'll play at Birmingham or Tashkent? :confused:

Mi-Ra :( :sad:

Tara, Laura, Alexandra :D

Rachel, Renata :(

Ansley :sad:

Wynne :(

Due to continued poor weather the Men's singles second round matches will be played at The Sutton Junior Tennis Centre with matches starting at 1.30pm. (Spectators are welcome at Sutton) and the Women's quarter final singles matches will be played at St. Georges College, Weybridge with matches starting at 2.00pm.

This should be an interesting final :) . I wonder on which surface it will be :confused: . Clay :p ?

All the best to Janet for this coming final :D

Am I dreaming or a post suddenly disappeared around :rolleyes: ?

great win for Laura, a bit surprised she hung on to this one as she doesn't really have a huge weapon to hurt Alex, but I am sure she will be more than happy to get a lot more bonus points than she may have been expecting to get before the draw came out ;) Hope she can grab the title now :)

Too bad for Vanny, disappointed because she has beaten Janet many times in the past, and also for Tara who had a nice run here to get through to the semis at least. :)
