It's great seeing our two most exciting prospects - Kyle and Eleanor - both in action this week. 

I thought that at the beginning of the week, but didn't want to tempt fate by saying anything.  I can do so now - whatever happens in their next matches, they have achieved a lot this week.  Still - let's hope for even more!

Hopefully we will see Eleanor back in the UK on grass. I've no idea what her plans are, but maybe junior Wimbledon?

I'd love to see her play to judge how good she is.

Clearly by results she will be top 500 very quickly if she stays fit and you would think she could step up to 25K level.

The draw has opened up now and just one seed left in the whole draw(top half) - no reason why Eleanor cannot pick up another title.

Amazing from Eleanor. Glad we've got her back

I was wondering too if she would play junior Wimbledon. After such a big break it would be her last chance.

I suspect she'll play the grass warm-ups and should be in the WC play-off so may even be in Wimbledon qualifying

Yes, KK, it's been great to see Eleanor and Kyle both in action so successfully this week. And encouraging too from Liam, Luke and Katie B.

 Yes.   I don't want to take anything away from those three.  I have also been avidly watching their scores.

From what I can see, Eleanor is coached mainly by Mariano Pettigrosso (the Argentine ex W800 or so player). Not sure if this is just as part of the Kim C. academy (where Eleanor obviously is) i.e. and he's just one of her coaches, or if he works more exclusively with her than the others.

Whatever, it all looks as though it's working out very well !

Deano is the real deal, just got to keep fit, would be fascinating to see her play now as it feels like light years since her 2010 appearance at Wimby.

Yes, it does, and yet she's still officially a junior. So still got loads of time on her side.

It's not entirely clear whether he's solely working with Eleanor, but he's certainly been travelling with her according to the Kim Clijsters Academy Facebook page.
