Does this mean that Feys & Taton will receive NO points now? :(

This is a 25k Bram... so they should get points! It's just the 10k's where you don't (at least I'm sure it's only the 10k's)!

Kaia :sad:

But still a good showing for her first match in a few months

Sybille :)

Katarina :(

Good stuff Julie :)

Well done to Nan-Nan on getting out of that mini-slump. :D

I had it as 11.5 points: 1.5 for qualifying, 7 for reaching QF, and 3 bonus points (2 for beating Pullin, and 1 for beating Kondratieva in quallies) :D

Maria Jose !!!! :D :D :D :D :bounce:

Is it 1.5 or 1.75 for qualifying? or did they also review the points for the $25.000?

*mod* Found it...it's idd 1.5...anyway, she will make a big jump :bounce:

Bien hecho, MJSA

Gaelle :D great win!

Any news on Anne K's match?

Natalia and Julie :sad:

well done Anne, only player left I like :o keep it up :)

too bad Celine :( (really going downhill :()

Eva :( :( :(
Julie, Sophie L., Sophie E. :(

well done Anne :)
Karla :)

Amandine :sad:

Yeah! Go Anne! :bounce:

Well done Anne :)

WTH is up with Eva...she is so inconsistent...that girl is headed for journeywoman status at this rate :sad:

:sad: Céline, Eva (wtf?)

but :D for Nan Nan and Anne

Gaelle Taton looks very promising... is she a junior of some kind? She hasn't had as much attention as Elke Clijsters or Kirsten Flipkens.

Gaelle is 22 or 23 and is starting her professional tennis career after she finished her studies

Gaelle vs Anne? :mad:

GO ANNE:D

Well done to Nan-Nan. :D
I knew she was more than capable of this upset. ;)

Good luck against Hejdova. :)

CONGRATS GAELLE

Celine BEIGBEDER being in the qualies at the Open Gaz de France, she might have been happy to lose against Nan Nan and make it in time in Paris for her first round qualifying match :rolleyes: .

Come on Maria Jose!!!!:bounce: :kiss: :hearts: :bounce: :kiss: :hearts: :worship: :worship:

Great job Nannan :bounce: :D :bounce: easy bonus points there ;)

Gaelle :D More easy bonus points there ;)

Eva??? :confused: That's a stunner...
Sybille :(

Any news on the QF?

Keep going Nan-Nan and Anne!:D

GO ANNE!!!!:D

Yes, lose here and then go to Paris and get flogged :rolleyes: ;)

The fairytale is over Im afraid, its gone from bad to worse with her results (to say the least).

Good luck to Maria Sanchez Alayeto ;)

QF Doubles results are available on Aceman website here :

Acemantennis.com - Belfort doubles draw (http://www.efekt.com.au/cgi-bin/draw.exe/tourshow?tp=3&id=1307)

Nan-Nan / Yan-Ze are in SF :D .

TS is completely right. She was playing at a top 30 level at one satge (be it for a short period of time)...but now the ride is over....

Still no QF results? :fiery:

Lazy frogs :mad:

LOL!

Good Luck Anne against Gaelle. Hopefully you stand a good chance of winning the event.

Are the french going to get their acts together and give us some results??????

I do not think that ITF results (in France or elsewhere) are posted over the week-end.

Aceman may get the results.

To obtain results, if you are in Europe, you can always give a phone call to the tournament site :rolleyes: .

LTA release results on the weekend!

I don't remember it happened last year because I complained to the tourney directors at that time they were too slow to release the results on the LTA website.

They however replied to my mail and improve the results releases thereafter.

As I said, you can always give a phone call if you are in a hurry to get results.

And insulting France in general won't make the results published faster.

apparently Keothavong bt Hejdova in semis in straight sets. That's all i know :D

Yeah, thats right;
Anne Keothavong def. Zuzana Hejdova 6-4,6-1, apparantly. What an excellent win for Anne. I haven't heard any other results yet!!!

So Anne's in the final?:D:D:D:D!

WOW!! Go ANNE!!:D

pff... what about the QF score of Anne - Gaelle?

Yay way to go Anne :) :)

C'Mon Anne! :D

Go Anne!! :D :worship:

most places send results out to itf at weekend. There is ALWAYS someone in tournament office.

National sites don't always update, LTA do now though which is good.

Is the final result available yet? It is very tense and exciting!
And who is Anne K playing?
Good Luck Anne

Anne K is probably playing against Nathalie V, since Nathalie withdrew from the next tournament.

Go Anne! Has she even dropped a set yet?
