R2 to date.... the young ones keep winning!

Jade Windley (Gbr) bt (5) Mari Andersson (Swe, 355) 6-1 6-4

Jocelyn Rae (Gbr) bt Ekatrina Dranets (Rus, 633) 6-4 6-2

Piia Suomalainen (Fin) bt Katie Ruckert (USA) 5-7 6-4 6-3

Martina Pavelec (Ger) bt Ana Veselinovic (Ser) 6-4 6-3

Anastasia Poltoratskaya (Rus) bt Olga Panova (Rus) 5-7 6-4 6-2

Karen P result to come. She is playing number 1 seed. There was a result for Rebecca L on the BBC site, but it was the same opponent as R1, so who knows what is happening. She was said to have won 6-4 6-3 anyhow. I'll wait for the LTA update tonight to find the truth....

Well, they may not be Russian 15/16 year olds, but they are stepping up to the new level..... Fingers crossed for the QF.

Becky L did win 6-4 6-3, but against Silva (456)
Karen P came through in three tight sets against the number 1 seed.
bt (1) Suarez Navarro 6-3 1-6 7-6

The QF sees Paterson vs Windley,so we will have one SF person.

Four from four. A good day at the office.

Wow! Cant believe Windley won!

I thought Paterson probably get through given shes got more experience than Windley! Nevertheless, well done!

Wow !! What brilliant performances from Rae and Windley this week, I must definately check Windley's match out on Monday at Sutton.

What will this take Windley's ranking up to ? What a start to the season for her and Jocelyn Rae, anyone know where they train, foreign academies ? They definately look like one's to watch !

Great result for Karen Paterson aswell against the no 1 seed in rd2, that was some win.

Shame about Becky Llewellyn in the quarters today, she's been losing lots of close matches to opponents of that ranking in the past 6 months

Do women's rankings still require three tournaments? If so I don't think Windley has played in any other, right? So she'll still be unranked?

Yeah they do still require 3 tournaments. Does that mean Windley has to play in 3 main draws or can it just be 3 tournaments regardless of whether she qualifies or not ?

RedCabbage · Club Coach

I had always assumed it meant three ranking point finishes.

Sheddie · administrator

Ok, yeah that does sound right. On this form, it won't be too long at all before Jade gets her world ranking

johnnylad · Tennis legend

I guess the good thing is that when she does get enough countable tournaments she'll come into the rankings a bit higher than those who scrape 3 first round wins to get their ranking...
...giving her a better chance in subsequent qualies!

Anastasia Poltoratskaya (Rus) bt Jade Windley (Gbr) 6-3 6-2

Katerina Kramperova (Cze) bt Martina Pavelec (Ger) 6-4 6-4,

All over for Jade this week!
Now get to Sutton quick but bottle some Hull air for the changeovers!

Some more info on Jade:

She's ranked 6th in U18s in Britain. Trains at Woodhall Spa tennis club, Horncastle. She won a tournament in La Manga in November which had some of Britain's best U18s and between Christmas and New Year she made the final of an U18 grand prix event before losing to Jocelyn Rae.
