For those looking to see what Maia Lumsden is up to, in Glasgow Maia will play Louie McLelland in the final.

Maia has only lost 9 games in 3 matches.

Can't see the point of Maia playing this.

Serving practice?

I imagine (and have no real idea) that Maia is playing here to support Glasgow ? Scottish tennis? Get a bit of match time before trying an ITF ? Her younger brother is also here. (I do like players who support their local clubs/regions....)

Anyway, she won easily, 6-3 6-0

Seems fair enough, and you can get quite a decent mix of juniors and seniors in the tour events, though the quality seems pretty variable with some weeks much stronger than others.

Huge congrats to young Serena Nash (who's been mentioned several times on this forum before).

She defeated Bolkvadze, top 600 world-ranked player, in the final : 7-6(7) 3-6 6-4

Guaranteed £400 for just making the QF - definitely worth turning up, especially for the likes of Serena, Mollie and Ellie-Rose who don't play much on the main tour. Slightly surprised Beth isn't playing.

Serena is planning on US college, I'm pretty sure, so can't accept prize money (only expenses, which all comes out flat in the wash).  I'd have thought Ellie-Rose is keeping her options open too.

Presumably Beth is 'hasta-ing la vista' to the UK, over in Spain smile

But, yep, prize money is very nice, given the pittances of ITF 10ks ....

I haven't seen Serena on any lists yet for US university yet.
