Week 32 - Womens 10K - Wrexham, GBR

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Wow got Tara. and and amazing win for Kirsty Wooley. Verardi looked in good form in the 1st round. Good to see Emily in a QF again. Hopefully Tara can keep going. I'll be back tomorrow to see how she does.

Tara was 15 on Monday, so is having a nice birthday week.

I think she can make her first SF tomorrow; she has the ability to beat Du Plessis (and, on her day, most people in 10K tournie's; just it needs to be her day).

Fingers crossed...

Well done, Tara. Having a desire to win a match even after you get bagelled in the first is the mark of a champion.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Does that make Rushby a future champion too?

Only joking! Great comeback from Tara. Hope she can take out last week's champion!

Hoping Web;ey-Smith can tear up the draw as well!

I guess 1 thing we can be sure of from a 15 year old is inconsistency. Still a good week with two wins for here.

Come on EWS!

RobC · All-time great

Salmon · Tennis legend

Never mind, Tara. Happens to everyone.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Emily was 0-3 down in the 3rd when i left. She was just making sloppy mistakes. Its a match she should win but 0-3 down will be tough.

Kirsty led 5-3 in the second but was brough back to 5all when i left. She led 5-4 in the 1st set and got to 30all but played a couple of bad points.

Kirsty is so much better than her ranking. She should be up in the 600's at least.

Tara was just horrible today, loads of errors, low 1st serve %. Du Plessis was consistent and dealt with Taras power well. She hit some great drop shots. Du Plessis i think will win the title, i don't think shes that good of a player but she does everything quite well.

Happycynic · Pro player

Not Tara's finest hour (or even 40 minutes!). Ah well, when she gets consistent she'll make those SF and F.

Tough losses for both Em and Kirsty. eek! Tara...still an encouraging result (reaching QF) for a 15 year old, hopefully by the time she is 16 she'll be winning these events.
