Yeah!! That was a great match from her, especially when you consider that she hasn't done well against Liz in the past.

Barthel's ITF profile pic is eerie. http://www.itftennis.com/womens/players/player.asp?player=100054643

She has done well here, but Tara should beat her if she's playing even half as well as she can.



A coinicidence - the last time Tara won these many matches in a row was exactly in this week in 2006! She won five matches and the Grade 4 she was playing in the Netherlands Antilles.

A title tomorrow will see her into the top 550, I think?

Sorry duplicated an earlier post.

The final has been played, but no result is up. The men's final was scheduled after the women's one and ATP have that one.

This could have come ages ago, but at least the revival is on track. Time to catch up with the rest of the top 1992/1993 born girls.

Hopefully she'll only play 25Ks and above from now on.

Yay. First senior title for Tara. June, July has been very good for her. I think that battling display in Q1 at wimby told her she could stay with top 200 players.

Whilst she lost that game, she appears to have taken the correct message- I'm in the right class- I can therefore win games at 25K level, and should be going deep in 10Ks.
