Boys & Girls: Biesterbos Open, Netherlands - Grade 2 (Week 26)

Maza1987 · Challenger level

i know most will expect a easy deep run for eleanor here, but so often when juniors return from seniors they become susceptible to a shock for some reason.

Would be nice to see Eleanor win the title here but who knows

Yes that often happens, particularly to players who thrive on a bit of extra pace and power. A comfortable opener for Eleanor though. Peter's match is the only one missing from the ITF results.

Did Peter withdraw from the Wimbledon juniors?

Yes that was his first preference, this his second - so a change of plan.

Really good stuff by Eleanor. As was said earlier, it wouldn't have been a huge shock if she hadn't done so well when reverting back to juniors but the form continues.

Interesting that Martijn Bok who did so much for Laura Robson is now coaching her. To quite some effect it would appear smile

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Good to see Eleanor still powering on.

Hopefully she can win the title
