[Edna Krabappel]

A few matches are already completed.

Sorana Cirstea lost to Alison Riske (who?) 2-6 6-7

Voskoboeva def. Lukic 6-4 6-1
Ditty def. Woehrle 6-3 6-0
Erakovic def. Barte 6-2 6-4
Journeywomen Gagliardi def. Not Angelique Widjaja 6-1 6-3
Voracova def. The Other Chan 6-4 7-6

And there are some men's matches also.

Qureshi won!

[lexpretend]

What is Alison Riske. What.

Big Akgul has a pretty nice section, should qualify.

[Grarliner]

Zi Yan should qualify too. She's maybe one to watch who could do some damage in the main draw too.

[Grarliner]

Dubois beat Tamaela 6-0 3-1 ret. A good start.

Olivia Sanchez of ... France defeated 8th seed Fedak.

Hey, Suarez played! I thought she was retired!!!

She's out to Beygelzimer 1-6 6-3 6-2.

Jidkova d. Ozegovic barely.

Oh my God, Brandi is already a break up on Tulyag.

[janie]

But Iroda fought back to take the 2nd set! Fight, Iroda!

Paolita

[sasha]

Riske won the US Girls' 18 last year, I think. Still a horrendous loss for Cirstea.

[lexpretend]

Pair O'Beanies beat Osterloh after being bagelled in the first set

Yan only just made it through in a third set TB over Bachmann...

[janie]

Sheesh -- Lilia's fans were so disturbed that she didn't get a MD wc, and here she can't even get past the first round of qualies. Poor Lilia.

Poor Coco, too -- she must have got on court extremely late, now she has to wait all day again to resume her match at 4-2 in the 3rd.

Yup. Again, it's clear Szavay is well ahead of the rest of this pack.

Minella lost a heartbreaking 3-setter.

[lexpretend]

Wow, erstwhile star of Japanese $25Ks Regina Kulikova thrashed the Yak 1 and 1.

I am keeping an eye on this Petra Kvitova child, who just beat NLV - not because she beat NLV obv but she was tearing up the reasonably strong Czech scrub circuit earlier this year...

[DBBN]

Who is Oudin? And how did she DESTROY the (allegedly) very good Morita?

Me too. She's had some really nice results this year and is still fairly young. Someone once said that she plays like Sharapova. I hope she doesn't scream though.

Giant Akgul enters top 100 and loses in Q1. Oh well, can't have it all.

[janie]

Melanie Oudin! She's a "Promising Young American". In fact she's one of the 3 RNSs in my Young Americans to Watch thread in Team USA over at the world. Woohoo, I'm so glad she won!

[janie]

Akgul

Oudin hasn't even turned 16 yet. The future of American tennis!

Maybe Morita will be like all the other Asian prodigies that win some challengers when they're 16 and we never hear from them again.

[janie]

Ha, good day for MEP!

Marie-Eve Pelletier (CAN) def Selima Sfar (TUN) 1-0 Ret.

[janie]

Woohoo, a Mexican guy named Bruno won! He even beat a seed.

[janie]

What a fancypants Live Scoreboard they've got this year!

[Grarliner]

Pironkova-Domachowska is an interesting tussle ...

I hate it when Ireland's finest, Kelly Liggan, loses. But at least it was to Gorgeous Goerges.

Parmentier struggled with Haynes, 6-1 4-6 6-4.

Kutuzova d. Birnerova 0 and 5.

Salerni d. Maes 4 and 1.

Keothavong, beloved on this board, downed Zahlavova 3 and 0!

Asia Muhammed sucks. Lost 2 and 2 to Czink.

How f'n long has Natalie Grandin been around?

Marrero d. Gubasci 4 and 1.

Tatishvili destroyed by Cravero. : at her WC indeed.

[janie]

I see Kops-Jones is in qr2. Who did she beat, then?

Tatishvili Chris Evert has to stop getting her all these WCs; it's too much.

[janie]

Coco lost 5-7 in the 3rd again. Served for the match at 5-3, lost that game at love. I'm pretty sure she lost the next game at love, too, poor kid. Fortunately I had to leave right then to make myself some supper -- a can of baked beans again, woohoo! -- so I don't know if she won any points in the final 2 games or not. I sure hope so.

[Edna Krabappel]

BarbOra got spanked by Junri Namigata 2 and 1. Jeez, what's going on with her? Wasn't she like winning everything in juniors a couple of years ago?

And speaking of those, Pavlyuchenkova finally showed signs of life beating Jozami 6-2 6-2.

[DBBN]

Barb

I thought qualifying for Wimbledon would have gotten her back on track

[DBBN]

Masa Zec Peskiric, and today she beat Tiantian Sun and is in the final round!! She plays...Pair O'Beanies!!

Julie Ditty also in the final round!! She plays Voracova!

[janie]

Wow, Kops-Jones in qr3? Good for her! And Julie, woohoo!

Betina Jozami

[janie]

I see that Aisam-the-Truth and good old Scoville Jenkins both made qr3! One more to go, guys ....

[janie]

RKJ won again!

[janie]

So Kulikova sent Oudin to the Zoo in short order, losing just 2 games. So maybe those Japanese 25Ks are better training grounds than we realized!

[DBBN]

Dude. I told you that. She plays Pair O'Beanies!

She did not win again yet! You got me all excited. Though I'd be excited either way.
