Good stuff, maybe quite helpful that there is also a South Africa G4 going on keeping most of the South Africans at home.

I see that CD slightly abbreviated the tournament title from the rather unlyrical "ITF 18&U South Central Circuit Zim Leg 1". I think I prefer the recent Dutch "Flower Bulb Tournament"

And one for the girls !

GIRLS FINAL:

Destinee MARTINS (GBR) [2] def. Tiffany LAGARDE (CAN) [5] 2-6 6-1 6-0

That's Destinee's second G4 title, and will give her another nice uptick in the rankings.

But not quite for Emile:
