Sam out of qualifying draw for Zurich

Sam out of qualifying draw for Zurich

11 Oct 2008

Sam has unfortunately lost her first round qualifying match in Zurich. She was beaten 4-6 6-2 7-6 by Pauline Parmentier on Saturday . Her attention will now turn to doubles, where she is attempting to gain enough ranking points in order for her and Lisa Raymond to gain entry to the season ending championships in Doha.

    good call on the quarters loss! they way i fig is, raysur need a semi final place in linz and also for the chinesey pair not to play! that is also presuming that linz is same tier as here :)
  • Ice
    Good luck in Austria. Put the two games in Zurich Open behind you and come back strongly. Rooting for you Sam.
  • moca
    bartoli vs squeakyshoes, would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch that. OO greys anatomy repeats-much better
  • tommy
    on present form i cant see sugibotnik winning zurich, quarterfinals maybe.
  • tj
    Suggest extra clothes. Austria needs to be warmer. Ne1 else here yet
  • Kevin
    :( Oh well keep practising for linz
  • Phil
    Chances of Sam and Lisa qualifing is getting very slim now. If Srebotnik and Sugiyama win Zurich then Sam and Lisa diffenatly can't qualify
  • nick
    :(
  • jonas
    No no no. 6-1 down. no wait make that :( 7-1
    Poor little raysur
    on centre petrova is having a small meltdown 5-0
  • halie
    its now saying team ray have an ace in the tieb, but no points, lies all lies. 0-4 i think
  • halie
    if this goes to a third set and good luck for that, is it a proper set, a normal tb or a funky tb, 40-0, 40-15, 40-30, 40-40 uhoh, raysur ad, 6-5.
  • nick
    its looking like 5-4 on serve in the second, but im not sure if the scoreboard is not lying to me again.
  • jonas
    5 DFs-oops
  • jonas
    oh crap, 3-6 0-2, 1-2 down. C'mon raysur
  • tj
    live scores has broken. 2-3 in 40 mins, i dont think so
  • nick
    my scoreboard still claims its 2-3 15-0 and that was same as 20 mins ago. Piece of crap
  • dan
    another productive day for me. Does this one beat the yoga dogs or not? http://www.captaincalendars.com/funny/jokes/gui...
    raysur play on the court with no tv coverage :( Good Luck girls, get some points
  • jonas
    raysur first up on court 2.
  • halie
    byeeee patty. Qualifiers rock!
  • halie
    sugibotnik cruising. i see bartolis serving stance has got more weird. ha ha ha qualifier bt chakv, gotta love that result. I like upsets ;)
  • tj
    if sammy had qualified, would have been chak 1st rd. Thats on tv :( Im not sure i can sit thru a chak niculescu match. do raysur play on weds?
  • Phil
    and also this puts us into more shame that a Kiwi is ranked higher than an Aussie to ><
  • Phil
    Hey i never noticed this but Sam is now the number 1 aussie again Casey is just right behind her at 52 while Sam is 51
  • Phil
    I think the best chance for Sam and Lisa to qualify if they won Zurich and Linz. So much competition in the way though and the draws are really really tight
  • halie
    do we need sugibotnik to lose in theory for raysur having a better chance of qualifying. Or does it not matter?
  • nick
    oops-thats peschke/stubbs out. I see that pesky polish pair are thru too...Im still miffed they won their 1st rd uso match.
  • tj
    anyone taking a blackberry or a laptop? Clearly not me, but AO singles tickets come out on the 19th euro time.
    Loooooook .....sam back to being aus no 1 :)
  • kyle
    raysur take on feng shui in the dbles, a nice easy draw it is not. Good Luck girls
  • Kevin
    Yay sam you are back to seeds now!
  • kyle

  • tj
    66 go sammy
  • tommy
    spud served to make it 55. ooops 6-5 sammy broken
  • halie
    4-4 on serve. I had to mute the demented jankovic match, random scoreline on that one
  • tj
    46 62 32 on serve, come on sam.
    Crazy vera about to play vs also slightly tapped safina on eurosport
  • tommy
    another break and 6-2, sam to serve first in the 3rd, unless my scoreboard is lying to me again.
  • tommy
    You'd think being in the same time zone i'd have been on live scores at the right time, but no, im just not that bright. Sam just got a break or potato got another DF. 4-2. Few nice aces 5-2 :)
  • kyle
    64 22 down atm :(
