Last week at the MoCo cup was great for her confidence.
She'll be a danger next week at junior Wimby.

Is Tara at junior Wimledon ? Must have passed me by. Have WCs been announced ?

I had actually been thinking pity she wasn't, but clearly hasn't played much juniors at all last year or two and has no junor ranking to speak of.

philwrig · Hall of fame

She said last week she was playing junior Wimby.
Don't also completely rule out either Heather or Laura playing.

^ i would like to see heather play juniors.
laura, too, but because she is also playing mixed, it may not be the best idea for her.

when is the latest they can enter/recieve a wildcard?

Josh · Challenger level

I don't think they can enter anymore, but could still hypothetically get a WC. I doubt Laura will play though, she still has two doubles competitions left and I think she's learnt from the AO where she ended up having to pull out of the girls doubles.

DavidC · Tennis legend

Tara did enter junior Wimbledon - irrelevant from the point of view of getting in on ranking, but a clear indication that she wants a wildcard, and I'm sure she will be given one after the last 2 weeks. The sign-in deadline for qualifying is 4pm tomorrow, so main draw and qualifying wildcards have to be allocated before then.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Laura said in her post-match interviews yesterday that she hadn't decided whether to take part in the juniors yet. If her doubles match is before 4pm tomorrow, maybe that's what she's waiting on.

DavidC · Tennis legend

Laura's not on tomorrow's schedule - I would be surprised if she opted in anyway.

However one of the Wimbledon website news items says: "Watson showed flashes of brilliance but an assortment of errors cost her the match. The experience, nonetheless, should serve as excellent preparation for her Junior Wimbledon campaign on Saturday." Whether the latter is guesswork or fact we will find out soon.

Tara wins 6-3, 6-1.

Amazing performance, simply brilliant! Lets hope she can keep this form up, she surely must have a shot at the final now!

Maza1987 · Challenger level

wow, that mc trophy really helped her.

everybody will want to avoide her at wimby

murray_2k9 · Challenger qualifying

Somethin certainly seems to have clicked. Lets hope this isnt just a flash in the pan!

Are the WCs for Wimb announced tommorow?

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Very good win for Tara over Laura's AO conqueror. A possible meeting with her twin sister in the final, unless Babos has something to say about it
