I don't understand that my girl, Rachel McQuillan to play Auckland not Gold Coast! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Gold Coast is her home country!

 

[Penne]

I think it could it be that she was snubbed by the Gold Coast orgainsers when she was trying to get her career back on track.

It's pretty harsh to be turned down when requesting a wildcard in your own country!

Jejeje another tier V for Conchita <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

That explains why Anna chose Auckland. At Gold Coast she simply would not have made it to Direct Acceptance zone. Meaning that she intends to avoid using WCs when not necessary..

 

[mn73]

Has Michael Blue changed his website address because it has not updated for me!!! Still has just Pattaya as forthcoming commitments?

[mn73]

Yes, I got it for the first time this morning - I don't understand how some people got it before me!?! Weird!

 

[marshmellow]

yes...that's actually a good move by anna. she needs points early in the year....

thanks for posting these two lists!!!

 

[AUSBOY]

I think its great Rachel is playing in Auckland!

She's from NSW, so it isn't home for her, and she doesn't like the heat and has never done well there.

She also would not have got direct entry where as she does in Auckland, so that gives opportunity for one more Aussie to gain some valuable experience.

I wish Evie would do the same! She could have squeaked into Auckland main draw, and then someone else could take her place in Gold Coast.

Only Danielle Jones and Renne Stubbs have played in Auckland since it was scheduled before the Australian Open and think that its about time more did because its generally an easy field and in the last decade has given heaps of players there first title! Like Maruska, Tu, Helgeson etc.

 

[Mateo Mathieu]

Rachel McQuillan will win Auckland! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> LOL! This is my dream! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
