Some of the players in MD have never won a match at challenger event (not even in qualies!) like the Austrian trio of Toma, Siller & Korolyi ;)

I guess they were having a holiday in the island and tried their luck here :p

lol right but Diana Toma has only played 2 tournaments, Katharina Siller only one so far and I dont know why Natascha Karolyi is still playing :confused:

Go Helen :D :D

Go Alisa :hug:

Easy point there. Wonder what was wrong with Silva?

Nice going Anet Kaasik. Good luck in second round and in doubles as well. (Have't yet seen a tournament where there are four teams playing doubles.)

:rolleyes:

Hopefully nothing wrong with her...

Hmm. Anet Kaasik/Diana Arutjunova received in doubles a w/o so they are in the finals without playing. If they will lose they will have 0 points, but what will happen if they will receive a w/o in the finals too. Will they have a trophy and still 0 points. :lol:

:haha:

Neuza, Alisa, Sarah all withdrew :rolleyes: -- this tournament is now :o

Lourdes :)

2nd round:

Kontratevidi def Fritche 64 60
Pascual def Gil Marés 61 60
Ferrer def Kaasik 64 62
Nossenko def Dillon 61 63
Arnés def Siller w/o
Del Barrio def Gonzalez 60 61
Pavelec def Kiesl 62 76(9)+
Karoly def Linina 26 75 60

Marta Arnés is already in quarterfinals without playing any match!!! Will she have points??

Please, Sara del Barrio win this awful tournament!

yeah Natascha :D :tape:

Katharina :lol:

According to the WTA rules sheet:

"If a player or team receives one (1) or more consecutive byes and loses her/their first match played, 1st round losers' points will be awarded and the player or team shall receive Prize money for the round reached."

So unless she wins her next match, she won't get any point but gets the money for being a quarterfinalist :confused: Bit bizarre if you ask me but hey, I don't make the rules...

But if I did... :fiery: :fiery:

Alisa is playing the AStrid Bowl G1 junior tourney instead
