Boys & Girls: Mediterranée Avenir, Morocco, clay - Grade 1 (Week 18)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Just to add that Destinee Martin and Mitchell Johnson made the FQR in qualis (and Danielle Dayley also got knocked out in qualis)

Mervatron2 · Futures level

Good chance for Fran to pick up some big points.

Nice to see Holly giving a bigger event a go. The battle in the rankings between her and Emma will be interesting over the coming months.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Great to see Holly playing a grade 1, then again it is a competency based process and she is in based on ranking so she is where she should be.

Francesca looks like she plans to move into catering! Great win for Holly also dishing out a third set Bagel. Sina Zuger is about to turn 18 in June and had a first round senior ITF win (admittedly against another Swiss girl in a Swiss 10k)

Holly will move back ahead of the current JWR 201 Emma Radacanu. Greater fish to fry of course for both and development is key, but probably no harm having these two 14 yos just about 4 months apart in age.

Both now looking highly competitive at higher grade levels.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

A very good thing!

Mervatron2 · Futures level

Good stuff.

Great chance for Holly to test herself against a much higher ranked opponent.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

A horrible day in Morocco as both our girls were forced to retire.

With all best wishes to both.

Oh no
