Girls: AEGON Junior International Nottingham wk 1 - Grade 4 (Week 15)

As usual there is a strong British line-up in Nottingham, including our 3 top 1997s looking to make amends for a disappointing trip to Malta.

The main draw is up at http://www.lta.org.uk/NewWebsite/LTA/Documents/Fans%20News%20and%20Major%20Events/Results/2012/AEGON-Junior-International/Nottingham/Girls-18U-Singles.pdf

Highlight of the opening 2 rounds is a win for our top ranked under 14 Maia Lumsden over the Russian 4th seed. Freya Christie continues to struggle though, losing to wildcard Kim Schmider. The match of round 3 could be under 14 National champion Anna Brogan against 2nd seed Georgia Craven - neither player has been remotely troubled so far.

 Not quite (within 2 points of the double), but she landed her first singles title - very good going for someone just turned 14 playing her second tournament

Maia Lumsden d. (8) Lana Rush 6-3 2-6 6-3

Doubles Final

(5) Askew/Folland d. Brogan/Lumsden 6-2 5-7 [11-9]
