;)

Good luck to :

Marie-Eve Pelletier
Rita Kuti Kis
Tzipora Obziler
Jennifer Hopkins
Barbara Schwartz
Zsofia Gubacsi (against Lilia 1st round :( )
Lina K. :)
Céline Beigbeder

I hate this fucking draw! I looked at it on the AO site first! it SUCKS! :( And I hate the schedule of play... about 5 atches I wanna see are first matches on court! pff! :fiery: :fiery: :fiery:

Good luck

Svetlana Krivencheva :D

Barbara Schwartz
Ashley Harkleroad

Olga Blahotova
Elena Tatarkova

NO LUCIC.......I CAN'T BELIEVE IT :( ;(

even stranger that Montolio want get through, with Sharapova Golovzina and Voracova (and Vaskova and J.Lee) in her section it will be impossible. Maria S is my pick.

Poor Christina W, Cindy W and Bryanne S in qualies!!! :(

My picks to get through are:
-Ashley H
-Milagros S
-Christina W (hoping to see un upset!)
-Barbara S (toughdraw for tatiana p!)
-Lina K
-Anasstasia R or Roberta V
-Ansley C
-Lindsay L-W
-Kristie B (dunno why, just a hunch)
-Maria S
-Kristina B or Maria Emilia S
-Tzipora or Jelena

good luck to all the italian girls and to Maria SHARAPOVA

Its not that bad is it :o ??

The Results of the Eggy Jury

Here's the 12 .................and the ones that should
Ashley Harkleroad ............ she should
Galina Fokina................... Claudine Schaul probably
Julia Vakulenko.............. Klara Koulalova
Tatiana Perebiynis............ or Schwartz (whichever one is fit)
Lina Krasnoroutskaya ........ and she should
Anastassia Rodionova......... she should make it
Maret Ani ......................... Ansley probably
Elena Tatarkova ............ Lindsay Lee Waters i guess
Nadejda Ostrovskaya............ Kristie Boogert
Maria Sharapova.................. tough 1st one then plain sailing
Daniella Dominikovic :angel:..... but Pitu will make it
Sofia Arvidsson...................... lets hope so

sure Eggy ;) We could have had:

Angeles vs Sharapova
Arancha vs Krasnourotskaya
Nuria vs Harkleroad

so yes, we're soooo lucky :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

So you picked Boogert over Camerin :confused: :confused: and Salerni over Obata :rolleyes:

Apart from those I agree with u, although I firmly believe Nuria has a good shot of qualifying ;) :devil:

Im trying to figure out the schedule and trying to decide which matches to watch first (i.e eastern courts or the long trek to the west side :o)

Best of luck the Aussies, especially Christina, Daniella, Olivia, Sophie, and Amanda. Poor Bryanne Stewart got the worst draw of the Aussies, and looking at the draw, I honestly think Grahame has the best shot at qualifying out of our girls.

Also good luck
Barbora Strycova :angel:
Maria Sharapova :angel:
Roberta Vinci
Lina Krasnoroutskaya
Ashley Harkleroad

Where's Mashona? If Harkleroad is number one qualifier, did she slip into the main draw? Does anyone know? i doubt it.

Good luck to Osterloh, Brandi, Harkleroad, Rao, Ashley, Rippner, Snyder, Lee-Waters, Hopkins and Lee :)

Yes, she was a main draw entry

woohoo! :) Goo Mashona!

Thanks for the info spiceboy! ;)

Voracova-Sharapova will be a tough one. I thought both would have qualified if they werent together!

Great Draw Ashley!! :D

Barbora vs Arancha couldn't be worst.. :(

Good Luck Caludine,Nuria and Pitu :)

good luck olivia! christina! sunitha! barbara! rika! marie-eve!

Where is Drakey? Is she ranked high enough to go straight to the main draw? I like her...:D

not too good to qualify but she might just win a rd.

Why isn't Akiko Morigami there?

Bahia must be injured ... Gisela's not there :(

Alex never registered. :sad:

Has she retired?

Gisela was never going to play here

she starts her season in Bogota

Harkleroad

Where you talking about Alex? :eek:
And how sure are you? :o

Tweety: TBE was talking about Gisela. ;)

danker: I completely forgot. :o

Well, I must be blind :o or was just hoping http://perso.club-internet.fr/ttle/tennis/shy.gif

Hurley's Wishes :D ...and Predictions :rolleyes:

1) Vanny Webb :D ...but Ashley Harkleroad has been looking far too strong.
2) Galya Fokina :D ...I think Sfar will make it through there. A lot of tough players here (Sequera, Hopkins).
3) Julia Vakulenko :D ...if Koukalova is tired, Julia should make it, otherwise a toss-up between those two.
4) Tatiana Perebiynis :D ...and I still think (hope?) Schwartz is rusty. I love Babsi too, but Tatiana will come through :D
5) Hmmmm I dunno ;) and if she doesn't make it in, I'll kill her :mad:
6) Roby Vinci :D ...you know, I kinda think her compatriot Santangelo is ready to make it through there.
7) Maret Ani :D ...I'll be perfectly happy with Scheepers though. I'll go out on a limb and pick Chanelle to continue her fine Australian form.
8) Jana Kandarr ;) ...but Lindsay Lee, if healthy, will make it through there.
9) Marie-Eve Pelletier :D ...but that will never ever happen. Weak section, Camerin gets in.
10) Masha vs. Renata :mad: That's the marquee opening round match...best of luck to both girls, and the winner cruises.
11) Pitu Salerni :D ...but I'm thinking Obata.
12) Sofia Arvidsson :D ...this is a tricky section. A lot of capable players (Ondraskova, Kleinova, Snyder, Jankovic) but I like Obziler here.

come on jen i know u have it in u for winning d AO for the 3rd time loves u with all my heartxxx

Good luck to:

Renata Voracova
Kelly Liggan
Anne Keothavong
Lucie Ahl
Julie Pullin
Svetlana Krivencheva
Maria Geznenge
Rika Fujiwara
Kristina Brandi
Mi-Ra Jeon
Milagros Sequera
Catalina Castano

Some exciting qually matches coming up! Go Brits especially Anne!

I thought she wouldn't qualify well not this year anyway.I hope she can win a match though!
