Again not for Brendan F ( )
This is the first week of the ATP/WTA 1000 Madrid. Jacob, Billy, Harriet and Fran were in Qualifying. Jacob and Fran qualified and joined Jack, Cam, Katie B, Emma and Sonay in the Main Draw. Fran lost to Yastremska however Katie B beat Siniakova, Emma beat Lamens, Sonay beat Christian, Cam beat sickness and Landaluce, Jacob beat Bu and Jack got a bye to reach the second round. So in 2025 three of our women made it to the second round of a WTA1000 (and on clay) for the first time ever. Surprisingly it was claimed that this is only the second time that two of our women have made it through to a second round in a WTA1000 ! Any statisticians perhaps JonH or GAMEOVER able to verify this ?
The Doubles teams are yet to play. There are two women's pairings - Liv with Tereza and Katie B with Daria Kasatkina, and four men's pairs- Henry + Harri, Julian/ Lloyd, Joe/ Neal and Jamie + Rajeev. Please keep an eye on the relevant threads for more information on the tennis.

Quite some stats, and as you say it seems very surprising re supposedly just the second time even just 2 GB women have made it to a R2.
I guess until recent years, when the Madrid and Rome draws were expanded, the only really big draws with R2 being L64, were Indian Wells and Miami, so they would be the prime candidates for possibilities. Quite apart from our women being useless on clay anyway

If we are talking about winning their R1 match, then possibly (Harriet and Jo winning their R1 match Montreal 2021), but there is also Emma and Harriet winning their R2 match in Indian Wells 2022 (Emma having a bye in R1)

Just realised this event was Georgia as in the US state, as opposed to Georgia the country - was searching away on apps to try and find it, haha!
