i hope not, cause she can earn more points by playing the quali.
last year's wc went to RITTNER, MÜLLER and E.CLIJSTERS. RITTNER played qf last year so i'm sure she will get one to have a chance to defend those points. and the others? ANCA and ALG? are there alternates?

 

[Brαm]

Maybe Elke Clijsters will receive a wild card again, like last year?

 

[matthias]

i hope Elke will get a WC
then A-L could kick her ass and would earn good points

 

[Brαm]

LOL! So they'd have to face each other in the 1st round? Do they do that? Putting 2 WC against each other in the 1st round?

 

[matthias]

they will fake the draw

 

[pan]

they will fake the draw

no, ALG will win the q and will kick ELKEs ass in the finals!

 

[matthias]

no, ALG will win the q and will kick ELKEs ass in the finals!

LOL - Elke will never reach a WTA-Tour Event final

 

[Brαm]

Elke Clijsters? In a final? Of a WTA event? In singles?

 

[pan]

ALG lost in shanghai's final q-round - so she's able to play q in leipzig...

 

[AleOrtu]

Who is ALG?
Ana Lena Groenefeld?

 

[matthias]

Who is ALG?
Ana Lena Groenefeld?

yes, it is Anna-Lena Grönefeld
our german tennis hope

 

[Brαm]

When will we get to know who will get a WC??

*crosses fingers for Elke C*

 

[E. Blackadder]

elke doesn't deserve it yet, sorry to say so....

 

[pan]

When will we get to know who will get a WC?

perhaps tomorrow?! i don't think that ELKE will get a md-wc. ALG and RITTNER and BARNA are my favourites.

 

[matthias]

my favorit for the WC are ALG and Barna
Rittner will not get one, and she don´t deserve one
she old, and her time is over

 

[matthias]

and we will not know the WC´s before friday
Friday is sing in for maindraw and Qualifiyng
and then they will see who need a WC
maybe anca Barna will not need a WC and get a Direct in
so the WC could go to another german player
it is the same with the qualifiyng WC
last year there have been several bye´s in quali

Freitag, 19. September 2003
16.00 Uhr
16.30 Uhr Abschluss Sign-In (Einzel), Vergabe der Wild Cards
Auslosung der Qualifikation

 

[Dymension]

I hope ALG gets one

 

[ChrisGermany]

The list on the webpage says, we are at 22 entries. Frazier has been deleted, Dokic is in.

As Barna reached the quarterfinal in Shanghai and is around 55 in the rankings, I doubt she would get direct entry. She´ll need a WC. Rittner reached the quarerfinals here last year, but I doubt she and Marlene (injury ???) would be given a WC. I think that Grönefeld and Barna are the only 2 that could get a WC. Maybe even just one German gets a WC as Dokic already got in and it´s just 2 open spots.

 

[matthias]

there are 3 WC´s

2 ordinary WC´s
and 1 Gold/Silver Exempt WC

Dokic got the Gold/Silver WC
so the other 2 WC´s should go to german girls

Anca and ALG
