Week 2 - ITF ($25K) - Plantation, USA Clay

jb288 · Satellite level

Convincing win for Jade, 6-3 6-0, will meet Boserup (WR686) in QR2; the other seed in her quarter has gone out 0/2 to lowly-ranked American Hampton.

Almost every match seems to have featured a bagel, but not Jo's; she won 7-6(4) 4-6 6-2, and will face Zhao (WR1008), but could meet Sloane Stephens in QR3, who double bagelled her unranked opponent today.

Jade is first up at 9 tomorrow.

Nice going for Jade there.

So hope she can push on toward the top 200 this year.

indiana · Tennis legend

Comfortable win for Jade and certainly good chance to qualify with the other seed in her eighth (

) out.

An important year for Jade, she made good progress last year and will certainly want to push well into the top 300

jb288 · Satellite level

Jade lost 1 and 3, Jo won 1 and 2.
How disappointing.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Complete turnaround today.
Jade losing against a player who although useful very beatable( won orange bowl 2008 though). Hopefully Jade can learn from this defeat.
Jo really needed that win yesterday and it looks to have been a major confidence boost overturning a defeat last year emphatically. Plays the no 1 seed in FQR though.

Disappointing hopefully Georgie can do better.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

On clay i think Georgie is going to struggle, strange choice of event to play at the start of the year me thinks

philwrig · Hall of fame

Stoopy won 6-1 6-4 plays no1 seed next Ani. Very impressive comeback.

DavidC · Tennis legend

That has to count as a shock win - Georgie's first on clay at this level.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Georgie was beaten by Ani no score yet.

jb288 · Satellite level

Ani won 0 and 2. Shame, what with Georgie's AO points coming off shortly, but a win is a good way to start a season.

PockyTastic · Futures level

Shame to lose but expected on the surface and with the opponent. I notice that she and Jade are down to continue in this series of American 25Ks, I wonder if they will risk the 100K in Midland, or go after the easier points in the other American ITF, which is a 25K. Looks like Mel is set to join them as well, which is a wise move on her part.
