The end-of-year Aussie ITFs aren't far off now, starting in Alice Springs on Sep 5.

The entry list is out and although it'll change a bit before the tournament starts, some interesting things to note:

Jess Moore and Marija Mirkovic are early withdrawals. No sign of Sophie Letcher :sad: Monika Wejnert and Jade Hopper are still nowhere to be seen. And no Shannon Golds either :sad:

Aussie girls that are on the list include Sally Peers, Casey, Liv, Tammi P, Bojana, Izzy, Sophie F, Dani D, Monique plus lots of scrubs.

No Ashleigh Barty but my fave 2 NT players are on the list: Kassandra Dunser (who's been injured for a lot of this year) and Tarlina Tipungwuti, who's now in the top 100 in Australia after being unranked at the start of the year and is being coached by Alun Jones :)

Poor Alice Springs :sad: :lol:

I actually think it's a better location than many ITF stops in Australia. Although it's a long way from anywhere, Alice is an easy 2 hour flight from every capital city in Australia. Seems better than trying to get to somewhere like Esperance, imho.

To be fair I just copy and pasted a small part of something she said...
I wouldn't see the hahaha's as bad, just part of normal conversations. Same as people do the lol at the end of everything.
Still only a teen, never know what may happen in the future...


Rajicic been sighted in any upcoming tournaments?

Update: Casey withdrew from Alice. I guess it was too hard to travel back from New York in time. She's still down to play Cairns though.

Q-Draw should be out today.

I really wish I was going but I live in the Top End of the NT. I think I will try and see some of the Darwin one starting in two weeks time...

Liv couldn't have asked for a better draw to the QF :lol:

The Indonesians could be dangerous here.

Bobusic could be trouble, but I think Sally will get over the line. Sally's ranking will nosedive next week so she better enjoy top seeding while it lasts :help:

Dani D could have trouble in the first round against a seasoned campaigner, be nice if she could get through and continue moving up the ranks.

I'm keen to say if Dani D, Tammi and Monique have any form.

Tammi and, to a lesser extent Dani, have a lot of points to defend in the next couple months. As does Sophie Letcher. Where the hell is she? And where's Jess Moore? And what's happened to Marija Mirkovic?

I'm excited to see which young players surprise. Storm Sanders qualifying win was a good one...
