Elena Baltacha, Karen Paterson, Lyndsay Reilly, Kirsty McRae, Mhari Neish, Frances Hendry, Mhari Brown, Nicola Allan, Liana Park, Susannah Roy, Sarah McFadyen, Nicola Slater, Heather Lockhart, Jenna Cockburn or any other Scottish player!

[Pdm1987]

Well Done Karen, : DAfter seeing her defeat Hannah in Wrexham I am now a huge fan of her She'll soon be near the Top 400

 

[Grachka]

Karen lost to Bammer 6-1 6-1

Good tournament for Karen though, almost into top 400!

Nice move for Karen this week, just outside top 400. Surely a good run in Nottingham will correct this!

 

[Monica_Rules]

Its great to see Karren doing well.She started the year ranked around 720 didn't she? What a climb!

Q1: Florence Haring (FRA) d. Karen Paterson (GBR) 2-6 7-5 7-6(5)

Terrible week, Karen really should have won that one. Bit of an anticlimax after Glasgow and Jersey, but hey! You can't win them all.


Monica_Rules: Karen started the year in around 650-700, so its a great climb. You can see the progression of all the Scots players on TennisScotland.org

linzi changed her schedule this year, staying in britain over the summer, it really hasn't paid off. hopefully next year she will spend the summer on the us/canadian hardcourt challengers and pick up a few wins, she's much better than 1028 in the world, she just needs to find some consistency.

$10K Pune, India

Karen Paterson has won two round, and plays Chantal Coombs in the quarters!

On a side note Karen lost to Akgul Amanmuradova in the first round of $25K Mumbai last week

I am led to believe that Elena returns in December to play British Tour Events

 

[Pdm1987]

Karen beat Cahntal in straight sets, and does play Akgul in the semi's. Hopefully she can get revenge for last weeks defeat

Good Luck Karen

 

[GBTG_Fan]

Karen lost 62 75

but a good weeks, and another few points, thats Tipton and Hull from the beginning of last year saved already, so she can rest asssured she'll stay in the top 500 until she has another chunk of points coming off in May.
