I believe in the predictions top 10 you are the only person to have gone outwith our current top 12 - i.e. gone for Eleanor.

Would be great if that happens !

All the best to her.

Eleanor's 21st birthday today I believe. If so, thats a nice way to celebrate

Mervatron2 · Futures level

So much potential with Eleanor. If she's heathy for 12 months and more she'll be top 200 and then some.

Not the result any of us would wish to see, one match too many I fear

Freya Christie [1/332] def Eleanor Dean 2-6 2-2 Retired

Kenneth · Lower Club Player

That's a real shame, probably first match where she's really had to push herself. Hopefully just pulled out to avoid aggravating something.

Mervatron2 · Futures level

Oh god again.

I can remember a few years ago when Eleanor had won a 10K or two aged about 16 and did not enter junior Wimbledon. Most thought this was a good idea to keep her under the radar. I said I thought she ought to have competed in the tournament in view of her propensity to be injured. She had a good chance of winning it and had she done so, at least she would have achieved something memorable and lasting. As it was, the issue turned out to be academic as she was injured again by the time Wimbledon arrived. How tragic to have so much talent and yet be unable to make use of it.

Oh no, really hope for Eleanor.

6-2 first set win against Freya says so so much and then so soon followed by "Retired"
