Here is some reports from Sally on AM.com.

FWIW here's what happened....... and a few objective comments based solely on these matches.
In the main the Brits were all up against higher ranked older players who had a lot more match experience.
Jade Windley and Hannah James impressed me the most yesterday. (brackets = current rank and age)

Naomi Broady (651, 17) v larsson (278, 20) lost 6-2, 6-3.
Naomi has a good first serve, fast and, because of her height, she can get good placement.

Lucy Warburton (1021, 20) v Haberkorn (418, 20) 7-5 and 6-4.
A close match........just a few misses that made the difference

Natasha Khan (502, 20) v Liggan (299, 29, Ireland) 6-2, 6-1
Natasha was really outplayed by her more experienced opponent.

Hannah James (no ranking yet, junior, 16) v Holusova (473, 20) 2-6, 6-2, 7-5
Hannah produced some really good tennis, great serve, mixed up the shots quite well. Really looked as though she'd win.
She served for the match at 5-4 in the 3rd set having broken her more experienced opponent but then lost her serve and the next 2 games. Such a pity because she did have chance to make the win.

Jade Windley (982, 17) v Panova (450, 19) 7-6, 6-4
I was really impressed by Jade. She hits the ball really, really hard and is very calm on the court. Up against a tough opponent who seemed surprised that she had such a fighter on the other side of the net. It was a very tight match indeed and it's a great shame Jade couldn't have gone through because her performance was great to watch.

Not a good qualifying run for the brits. Heres hoping Naomi can give us the 1st singles title of the year.

Decent results in the singles.

Amazing win for Amanda. Top 500 here she comes pretty soon.

I'm hoping Naomi can show her class and win the title.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

What a win for Amanda Elliott. Hope that's a good sign of things to come. She must be full of confidence. Is that her biggest win to date?
