Do the people with access to entry lists (TBE, tobi) still do updates on MD withdrawals? I haven't checked these threads in a while now that I no longer play online games.

No point in keeping tabs on the qualifying list; typically, it's only when the Q draw comes out that we know who's actually playing.

tobi no longer has access to lists (spiceboy does)

yes still do updates on withdrawals
but compared to previous yrs, there's only been very few players pulling out of tourns all season, normally for a Tier III or IV we used to have around 15-20 players in that tourn alone who were in maindraw withdrawing, this yr we've had about 25-30 or so withdrawing from all tourns in whole yr to date.

can someone enter for both md and quali? i dont know thats why asking this stupid questions :lol: i mean Sania is 15 out of md so will she be able to play the q if she doesnt get md entry?

Is Dokic on the list?

Thanks. :)

Bovina, Jidkova and Baczinsky here?

Thanks; I'll rely on you and spiceboy to keep us informed re: MD.

The current MD list has almost no pushers and loads of interesting players. Let's see how it holds up.

Sprem? :)

Sprem feedup for winning Torhout
(gives her feedup for Fes and Estoril)

Any Greeks? How about Olaru, Flipkens, or Begu?

one of feedups OUT
Kudryavtseva IN

Any Greeks? How about Olaru, Flipkens, or Begu?
only Flipkens

no Q list yet

one of feedups OUT
Kudryavtseva IN
which one????

Kimiko Date has a feed-up right?

one of feedups OUT
Kudryavtseva IN
It the OUT feedup Monzon or Torhout? Thanks.

doesnt say which feedup

Date had 1
Sprem had 2 (1 for Fes and Estoril) 100k = 2 feedup spots, 75k = 1)

doesnt say which feedup

Date had 1
Sprem had 2 (1 for Fes and Estoril) 100k = 2 feedup spots, 75k = 1)

:confused: Thanks. :awww:

Is Kimiko in then?

Is Kimiko in then?
That's what we don't know. Kimiko OR Karolina is in. I don't know why Karolina wouldn't want the spot, while Kimiko lives much further away, and might have turned it down for that reason--but we don't know.

When the Q list will come out?

Russians in main and quali?

That's what we don't know. Kimiko OR Karolina is in. I don't know why Karolina wouldn't want the spot, while Kimiko lives much further away, and might have turned it down for that reason--but we don't know.

Kimiko is staying in her Monaco house during the clay season;)

In her blog it says that she already left for Tokyo a few days ago. she might have a break for a few weeks then

According to a portuguese sports newspaper in today's edition, Kudryavtseva is IN because Sprem refused the place. So Date is IN

Q list out

Yakimova #76 then Ani #95
down to #237 Jovanovic

Argies on Q list? thanks

TBE tell me Michelle's place in the quali draw please.
I've read that she'll refuse the wc for the main draw and would like to know what are her chances.

Argies on Q list? thanks

7 out

According to a portuguese sports newspaper in today's edition, Kudryavtseva is IN because Sprem refused the place. So Date is IN
This is confirmed by TBE saying the Sprem is on the Rome Q list (http://www.tennisforum.com/showpost.php?p=15430420&postcount=36). So it appears that Kimiko is still in, contradicting my earlier idle speculation.

Americans, Gajdosova, Dokic, Date-Krumm, or Suarez Navarro in Q or MD?

7 out of the qp. That is good. Hope she can make it into the qp.

Vakulenko?

is sania playin qualies here?

She's here, don't worry. ;)

Who else have you seen? :)

Who else have you seen? :)

Davydenko and that was just about it. :o

I'm checking photo archives now to see if I can identify some of the players I saw.

OK, the stumpy left-hander Minella talked to in French was Vedy.

It seems Diatchenko is 2-handed off both sides so it's likely she was the one hitting with Bovina.

The one in the shiny white tracksuit might have been Stanciute.

Just remembered - also saw Micaela Carolina practising with her parents on the courts by the other side of the road, next to the new indoor court shack.

Stevenson and Brengle I'm positive I didn't see.

She's here, don't worry. ;)

Have you seen her? tell me everything you´ve seen, thank you! :wavey:

Pitu :hearts:

Have you seen her? tell me everything you´ve seen, thank you! :wavey:

Saw her playing a practice match against Minella in Court 1. She was wearing a top with "Argentina" written on its back and has an brace around her right ankle.

I don't think Vitalia uses a 2-handed forehand; the ITF does not list her as such (the WTA doesn't say).

Here is pic so you'll have no doubt if you saw Vitalia Diatchenko:

Pretty!!!

She does. ;) Although if you want to get technical, from a few pics it looks as though she does not have a forehand at all, and uses two double handed backhands, like Hsieh Su-Wei. :)

Thanks, you are correct. Vitalia does play 2-H on both sides, and her ITF profile is incorrect.

No worries. :) Although I think I might've been wrong saying that she uses two backhands. I asked her and she told me that she uses a forehand and a backhand. :confused: I guess it's difficult to tell from photos only! :lol:
