Natalie Beazant begins a series of events on her favourite clay surface, after a disappointing run on hardcourts at the back end of 2009. Should she reach the quarter-finals here she will probably meet An-Sophie Mestach, a highly-rated Belgian who may well challenge for the junior number 1 spot by the end of the year
Costa Melgar reached the final of her first 10K event on clay back in 2008 so will be tough opposition, and a good guide to where Natalie is on this surface.
Hmmm it will be interesting to see how Natalie fares in this run of clay events, clay seems to be her favourite surface so hopefully it will be profitable for her.
