The remaining matches are now on tomorrow's OoP.

After waiting TWO days to get the match re-started, Nicola George takes the first set against Codino, 6-2 !

Katie is through 6-3 6-1

Katy is serving at 5-2 up in the 1st set

Very good win for Nicola. I'd said that Fiona C was having a pretty poor year but that's a really clear-cut victory.

Nicola now plays (7) Harmony Tan, WR 684.

But she's only 16 and, as with many youngsters, has had some real up and down stuff this year (with gaps due to school work, I'm assuming). She's not a 'solid' WR 684, that's for sure . . .

Meanwhile, Katy has the first set 6-4.

4 out of 4

L32: (1) Katy Dunne WR 368 beat (Q) Candice Paya (FRA) UNR (17yo) by 4 & 1
L32: (3) Katie Boulter WR 496 beat (WC) Jade Rafalovicz (FRA) UNR (16yo) by 3 & 1
L32: (Q) Nicola George UNR beat Fiona Codino (FRA) WR 866 (CH 864 in Jun) by 2 & 3
L32: Francesca Stephenson WR 916 beat (Q) Charlene Favier (FRA) UNR by 7-6(4) 6-1

L16: (1) Katy Dunne WR 368 v (WC) Mathilde Armitano (FRA) UNR (17yo)
L16: (3) Katie Boulter WR 496 v Jil Nora Engelmann (GER) WR 1085 (= CH)
L16: (Q) Nicola George UNR v (7) Harmony Tan (FRA) WR 684 (= CH, 16yo)
L16: Francesca Stephenson WR 916 v Sandra Andriamarosoa (MAD) WR 1271 (CH 1203 last Nov)

Sandra lives and plays in France and has had a pretty good year, lots of matches, some good victories (although Eleanor Dean thrashed her just after Christmas)

Mathilde shouldn't be anything of a challenge for Katy - definitely weaker, on paper, than Sandra and Izzy Wallace beat Mathilde earlier this year.

As I say, Harmony is up and down - lost to Amy Sargeant, and Anna Smith, this year. Good potential but hasn't kicked on from last year. Still very young, really.
