Lizaan :mad: :sad:

I'm glad Beti skipped it...she gets injured at the drop of a hat, so overplaying is hardly going to do her good.

Rest up and come back to Oz and kick butt in the challengers here :D

I reckon that's why she withdrew to get to Mackay in time for qualifying. If she can continue with this form, she may be an outside chance for an Aus Open WC.

Maybe Tracey O'Connor has a chance of winning this now that Beti isnt playing!!

Beti need to withdraw anyhow since she is playing in Mackay end of this week
