We don't have to nominate do we? Will do anyways Bowenburg in the singles.

[SirBloody Idiot]

[Blewy]

Like meatloaf, Bowenburg has taken the words right out of my mouth.

[Simon]

Looking forward to the Aus Open, also no doubles for Smeltz.

[Mister Wright]

Obviously playing both singles and doubles barring injury.

[Goughy]

Is it possible for a guy as new as Kao to try and qualify? If so then Ill try. If anyone needs a doubles partner then give me a shout

I don't fully understand how this works, so sorry, but if my name is not up there, what deos this mean?

[Matteh]

I don't see my name down for the Aus Open Qualis, if there's clashes or anything then no worries.

[SirBloody Idiot]

Yeah, have you down as playing Salinas
