Wimbledon Girls Second/Third Round.


We need a different topic. The main one will get too cluttered with the remaining first round and doubles matches.




Naomi Cavaday [63] vs. Oksana Kalashnikova [21] of Georgia

Kalashnikova is 16 and states grass as one of her favourite surfaces, although her best results have come on clay. Her win against Rodionova in the first round was her first win on grass in four attempts. Naomi didn't have a very good record against top 25 players when she was playing ITFs full time, but I believe that she has matured enough in the last six months to walk into such matches as the favourite.



Anna Fitzpatrick [436] vs. Ksenia Milevskaya [3] of Belarus

This is one of the worst draws she could have had. Even though Milevskaya's women's record is ordinary for a Junior top 5 player (ordinary by international standards, not British), she is one of the most consistent players in the ITF circuit with seven appearences in GA/G1 finals in 2006! She reached the finals of Roehampton last year, which probably makes her one of the favourites for the title out here.

Naomi gets knocked out unfortunately but Fitzy takes the first set. Doubt there will be any more play though, it very dark in east london

Actually theyve started the second set, apologies. They must be playing with glow in the dark balls or something

Naomi. cry.gif That was an off day for her but Junior results for girls past their 18th birthday mean nothing in any case.



Impressive stuff from Fitzy so far.

Jade Windley [185] vs. Evgeniya Rodina [57] of Russia

Very tough match for Windley since Rodina is on the verge of cracking the WTA top 150. She easily beat Petra Martic in the first round, so she must be playing some good tennis.

Fitzy holds and then breaks Ksenia's serve for the third straight time. She'll serve for the match!
