Q1: LEWIS, Francesca (GBR) 5 1207 lost to VAN DEN HEUVEL, Daphne (NED) UNR 3-6 1-6

Bah, was raher afraid that vroom vroom might whizz by Lisa, but just hoped that Lisa's experience would get her through, given I imagined Indy hadb't played much seniors at all  ( I see from our translator that it's actually her first 10K ).

Shoild I adopt Indy to follow  ?

Having talked about deciphering Swedish and Dutch on the Fed Cup thread, here's a really easy one from Indy de Vroome's twitter, and it's not good news

"Hoi! Speel in mijn eerste 10k futures en heb net mijn eerste ronde gewonnen tegen de #3 geplaatst. 6-3, 6-2. Morgen tweede ronde."

I thought it looked like a rubbish draw (especially given that Lisa had managed to be seeded) but hoped that since it was de Vroome's first 10K and she is still so young, Lisa might still have enough to beat her.

In case anyone isn't aware, de Vroome is a 15-year-old who is already world junior number 8 and reached the Wimbledon girls' semis last year.

"Hi.  Here in my first 10k futures  ??? my first round I won, taking the 3rd seed. Second round tomorrow."  (I liked that last bit "Morgen tweede ronde" really easy )

So what's 'en heb net' ?

Yes, easy enough and quite fun deciphering it, isn't it, even if what it meant was no fun at all.  'tegen' actually means 'against' but even the 'taking' that it suggested to you makes perfect sense in this context.

It is indeed her first 10K but wasn't her first senior match - that was a 3 & 0 loss to Arantxa Rus when she was a QWC at 's-Hertogenbosch WTA last year.

en = and, heb = (I) have, net = just
