Nice to see Shadisha again. I've been a great fan since she beat Monique Viele as a 14-year-old when some people still were convinced that Monique Viele was going to be the next great star. I believe Shadisha is at a uni now. Good luck also to my chica Soledad, and the unbolded S.Dubois ( ).  |

OMG!!! HOW COULD I MISS BOLDING STEPH!!!!!  Will fix it now, & also Shadisha. Also, Steph and Sybille are NOT both seeded #6. Steph is apparently 7; will fix that too. Not to mention, since when is she a USian?? Go her, anyway. |

Singles 1r: 4/128 Lepchenko (UZB) d. 287 Argeri (ARG) - 6-4,6-3 8/174 Mattek (USA) d. 268 Takase (JPN) - 6-3,6-1 255 Dabek (USA) d. 271 J.H Kim (KOR) - 6-2,2-6,6-3 276 Kix (AUT) d. 193 Fuda (JPN) - 7-5,6-2. MEP also lost, 5-7 in the 3rd to Ditty The sad thing about MEP is that she is STILL the Queen of Québec tennis, despite her unrelenting hopelessness! Someone has to step up ... |

Also, it's been confirmed on wtaworld (for whatever that's worth!) that Haidy El-Tabakh has indeed changed her nationality from EGY to HOS. |

Post by Brinyi on Jul 6, 2005 7:20:26 GMT -5
Do you know what the HOS connection is, Janie? This came out of the blue for me and helps me get over the Beier Ko (SIN) business.

No, I have no idea how Heidi>Haidy became a hoser. The Hidden World is such a mysterious place, isn't it! I am still confused over Michaela Krajicek somehow turning into Michaella!  |

Post by Brinyi on Jul 6, 2005 12:31:53 GMT -5
On the Scheveningen website this week they refer to her as Michaela, and that is a Dutch site! Haidy is claiming Toronto as her home now -- maybe I should have her over for dinner.  |

Yes, I think you should definitely invite her and her mom over. |

Poor ill Robinson. Pauvre stinking Dubois. Pobre Soledad. Poor Haidy. Pobre Argeri Terror.
Nothing good was likely to come from a place named Hurleyville!

Well, Megan Bradley is still in!  Where's she been, anyway? And I will also root for Tomoko the LL. |

Bradley played her first tournament in 4 years last week, and won it (South Lake $10K)

Oh. Weird.
Yes, well, I became aware that the Hurleyville Challenger was this week when I returned from NY on Tuesday. But I work nearly every day from 10-5, so this kind of puts a damper on visiting it It's not much of a field, so I'm not crying. And, after the move, I'm also not a 5-minute walk away anymore.
I have off Sunday, so my friend and I are considering going to the final. If Varvara makes it I'll definitely try to check her out.

Yay, Hurley is back! and might go!  I do expect Varvara to make the final. But it's too bad you are no longer living so close to Hurleyville's grand $50K stadium. Brinyi, thanks for the cool Megan update. I like her. I wonder how much of a try she is going to give the circuit, or if she's just having some post-graduate fun for the summer? |

I hope Monika Dancevic will be able to fill the void on the UM team left by the graduation of ITA Player of the Year, Megan B!

I believe you might have her confused with Megan  . |

I hope so. The Dancevic family needs some good news, because Frank is blowing like Hurricane Dennis.
