2018 ITF General talksjust turned it on. 4-5 Alexandrova serving to stay in the match.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Kuz hits a return winner 0-15#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Then Alexandrova hits 3 DF in a row to lose the match. Was she paid to lose?

If she wins the final, she'll vault to 83rd just ahead of Chris McHale. Hopefully, she'll do well in qualies at the French, so she'll be maindraw at Wimby. Sad ending tho' to a tight, competitive match. #ed_op#/i#ed_cl# Last edited by rex on May Sat 19, 2018 9:32 pm, edited 3 times in total. I missed this match. Completely forgot to check the schedule last night.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#So the only shot I was was Kuzmova's return winner in that last game. She was sad I was not watching. So the minute I turned it on, she hit that deadly backhand cross-court to say "see, Ace?" LOL#ed_op#br#ed_cl# Last edited by Ace2Ace on May Sat 19, 2018 8:05 am, edited 1 time in total. Re:2018 ITF General talksGood news, Ace. According to Spiceboy on the TF, Bellis withdrew and Kuzmova is now in the maindraw for Roland Garros. With a good draw she can now pick up some major points and keep herself off the ITF circuit. Re:2018 ITF General talksCongratulations to Vicky K. on winning this 100k in 3 and now being ranked in the upper 80's, tho' that will change for some of the players in that section are playing Strasbourg or Nurnberger. Good match between her and Cepe Royg, who is herself a nice player. Next for both is Paris...... Re:2018 ITF General talks#ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl#There is a 100k grass event in Surbiton, Great Britain beginning June 4th. A few stateside players are in the maindraw (Riske, Dolehide, Falconi) and qualies is featuring Duval and Asia Muhammad amongst others. Also playing is Destanee and Jamie Fourlis from Aussie land....#ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl#Wondering why Buzarnescu at 33rd in the rankings is playing this event. #ed_op#img src="/board/richedit/smileys/Thinking/3.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl#Lastly, it appears France has dumped all of its 100k clay events that were scheduled during the 2nd week of the French and thereafter with Great Britain picking up the slack, for they have 100k grass events scheduled for the next 3 weeks leading up to Wimby, beginning on July 2nd...... makes sense. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/i#ed_cl# Last edited by rex on Jun Sat 02, 2018 7:31 pm, edited 2 times in total. |
