Assuming Laura avoids injuries etc., I see her having a solid senior career as a bare minimum. Top 50 and then lets see how much higher she can go, lack of speed will always hold her back somewhat, so some observers are undoubtably going to be disappointed if she doesn't win a slam.

The current crop of juniors doesn't contain a multi grand slammer so it is possible Laura is looking good compared to an average bunch of players.

Her match tonight according to oldechoman is going to be delayed about 10 minutes.

Whoever manages to serve best will win this one - two breaks already!

Laura holds to go 2-1 up - big hold!

I think this is the first match this year where the Slamtracker has a decent photo of both players!

Laura breaks, but is getting a lot of help from double faults (5)

4 of those were in her first service game.

Not sure with the small font - was that a double fault for the set from Vives? If so, does she have a British Grandparent we didn't know about?
