Maybe we should all send e-mails to the BBC about why the guys are getting loads of coverage and talk whilst the girls aren't - I just did :lol: Amazing how we have 5 top 200 girls (1 top 100) yet on the men's we have Murray inside the top 20 and then nothing until Boggo, who is going to slip from his current position outside the top 250

 

Well said, it is unbelievable how our girls are ignored by the media. Surely there will be cameras sometime this week???

Melanie, that was an awesome win, fantastic

 

I know, all is missing on the women's side is a top 50 player!

Go GB GIRLS!

Mel onto R3

 

Mel was awesome today!!!

 

mel i cant belive she beat bammer,, and to be honest quite easy :lol:

she has a chance for the 1/4 finals,,, hopefully i can see her on tv

 

Great result for Mel, another win against a top 100 player on grass. Keep it up and good luck against Nakamura or Cirstea

 

Mel

Hopefully Naomi and Katie can join you tomorrow.

 

We are just down to Mel as Katie and Naomi both lost in 3 stters today!

 

katie shwd have won

but cavaday also had a chance

 

Come on Melanie


Katie/Naomi

 

Naomi
Katie :smash: Should have got a break in the first, congrats on coming through the second, good fightback in the third but shame you couldn't just hold on.

Wouldn't it be awful if she reached 101 next week? Career high in juniors of 101, career high in singles of 101 as well!

Correction: From TBE, highest Katie can now go is 102

Mel won 2-6 6-4 6-4 Great stuff and a winnable QF aswell.

 

Mel lost today....but it was an awesome run to the Qf's

 

From LTA website

On Thursday, Mel South became the first British player since Jo Durie in 1992 to reach the quarter-final at the DFS Classic in Edgbaston. En route, the world No 154 recorded three excellent victories against Anna Fitzpatrick 6-4 6-4, Sybille Bammer 6-3 7-5 and Aiko Nakamura 2-6 6-4 6-4. However, the 22 year-old eventually lost in the last eight on Friday against Yanina Wickmayer 4-6 3-6.


Terrific week Melanie, well done and good luck in Eastbourne

 

mel played a good match overall,, i thought at *4/3 30 all,, she got abit excited with a very short ball,, and lost her concentration,, she could have won the match,, but still ,, good match overall

 

Totally agree. also shows that Melanie can compete happily at this level and with good draws at Eastbourne and Wimbledon she could soon be in the top 100.
