Boys & Girls: The 39th Slovakia Cup, clay - Grade 2 (Week 17)


Kyle Edmund is not the only Brit to play one of the Thiems this week. Dominic's younger brother Moritz takes on Harry Butler tomorrow. Fran Jones is in the draw, so hopefully has recovered from whatever caused her retirement last week

Boys R1 (L48)

Harry Butler v Moritz Thiem (AUT)

(LL) Maximilian Gatev (SUI) v Jake Hersey

Girls R1 (L48)

(2) Francesca Jones bye

Straight sets again for Fran, who has also reached the doubles semis. Fran's next opponent comfortably saw off Clara Tauson, the Dane we have occasionally been talking about this year (and winner over Fran in Florence).

Well done to Fran

Still not 17 until September and with forays into seniors, Fran should rise to about JWR 30 on Monday.

Very welcome title for Fran. Her last (another G2) was almost exactly a year ago, and comes off before the Roland Garros cut-off, so this should keep her in the top 50 and RG main draw. Adding some detail:

SF

(2) Francesca Jones d. (4) Barbora Matusova (SVK) 6-4 6-2

F

(2) Francesca Jones d. (1) Denisa Hindova (CZE) 6-2 6-7(5) 6-2
