yeah I agree Arka, someone of her talent shouldn't be still playing juniors...it can hold a player back as the intensity of competition in the juniors is nothing like the main tour. I was a bit worried earlier this year as up till April it seemed as though Jade had regressed in the past 12 months but now she's had several superb runs in futures with some great wins - that one over Pironvova really stands out, especially after receiving a 1st set bagel.
Good to see all 3 qualify...courts don't really suit Anna Hawkins but she can be dangerous as opponent's won't be used to her unorthodox game. Jade's opponent is definately beatable...what's her form been like this yr ?
Pleased that Sarah C has stepped down to futures, she's had a disappointing yr, needs to try and build up some momentum in the 10Ks as at challenger level she was tending to be outclassed by the top 300 girls.
