Yeah following the girls progress as well. well done Baltacha, after a series of bad luck and injurys she really is starting to show her talent. She could be our first top 100 player since Sam Smith in the late 90's. Go Elena.

She won't get very far playing like that. Her coach had better tell he to take her hat off then she could see better.

Didn't he foul John Byrne for the free kick by Deano that got us into the play off final?

Really sad news, best wishes for her recovery!
Bally would if been a top 32 player but suffered with illness for a long period of her career.

She was always a really gutsy and committed player so hopefully this will help her in this new fight.
