Je gagne à Toluca, j'ai bien joué toute
la semaine. J'ai besoin de qqes jours de repos maintenant, ça va
faire du bien de rentrer à la maison après ce long périple.
L'organisation était impecable et j'espère bien revenir l'année
prochaine.
Merci à toute mon équipe en France avec qui je partage cette
victoire.
A bientôt

03-Nov, Semis:
Top seeds safely through to meet unexpected opposition
...
Top seed Gregory Gaultier breezed past Peter Barker in the
first men's semi-final in Toluca, dismissing the Englishman in 32
minutes for the loss of just six points.
In the final he'll meet Omar Mosaad, who came from two games
down to beat Simon Rosner, taking each of the last three games 11/9
to complete a 76-minute turnaround.
The women's final will be between top-seeded Dane Line Hansen,
who beat Nicolette Fernandes in straight games, and Sarah-Jane
Perry, the in-form Englishwoman who beat second-seeded
compatriot Lauren Briggs in four games to reach a third consecutive
final.

02-Nov, Quarters:
Down to the last four in Toluca
as Mosaad downs Darwish
It was a another late night in Toluca
as the semi-finalists of the Abierto Mexicano were decided, the last
match going onto the glass court at quarter past midnight!
The day started with the delayed women's first round - which saw a
reshuffle due to the withdraws of top seed and local favourite
Samantha Teran - with all eight seeds going through to the
quarter-finals.
The first pair of those were both upsets as Sarah-Jane Perry and
Nicolette Fernandes won in five and four games respectively.
Fernandes will meet new top seed Line Hansen, while Perry faces
second seed Lauren Briggs whose match against Kylie Lindsay started
after midnight.
In between were the men's quarter-finals. Fourth seed Peter Barker
was first through with a 3/1 win over Nicolas Mueller, then Simon
Rosner beat Borja Golan in a particularly tough four games, the
German winning both of the last two games 12/10.
Top seed Gregory Gaultier saw off the challenge of Mohamed El
Shorbagy 3/1, although the Egyptian had a game ball to take a 2/1
lead. The final match was an all-Egyptian affair which saw Omar
Mosaad oust second seed Karim Darwish 12/10 in the fifth.

31-Oct, Qualifying Finals:
Late night for qualifying finals
It was a late night in Mexico as the last of the four men's
qualifying finals took to court after midnight.
 Finland's Olli Tuominen beat Frenchman Grégoire Marche in the first
match, but marathon wins for Chris Simpson and Marwan El Shorbagy
meant that Saurav Ghosal completed the main draw lineup well into
Friday.
It was a Mexican clean sweep in the women's qualifying finals, but
the main draw placement and the first round have been delayed by a
day to allow players time to hopefully get over their travel
troubles. |

FROGS' TALK
J'étais censée faire Mexico, mais à cause de l'ouragan qui s'est
abattu sur la cote Est des USA, j'ai du déclarer forfait. LaGuardia
est toujours inondé, l'aéroport est donc fermé jusqu'à nouvel ordre,
et le vol le plus tôt que je peux avoir n'est que samedi, sachant
que mon match est demain, impossible de jouer.
Je suis vraiment déçue car c'était une bonne opportunité pour moi
d'être dans le main draw d'un 15000$. Mais "Sandy" en a décidé
autrement.
Prochaine échéance le WSA de Madison fin novembre, où je retrouverai
quelques-unes de nos jeunes françaises... En espérant que je ne sois
pas bloquée à cause de la neige cette fois...
Bonne chance à Tit Greg, Mat et Greg pour le tournoi.
