Katie Swan takes only 6 of the 8 games played in the first set versus top seed and WR 2 Junior Xu in the first set...

Swan 6-2 Xu

Having finally finished a 2h 4m phone call, I find that not only is Katie a set up on the top seed (WTA 570) as reported above, she broke at the start of the 2nd set too 6-2 3-1*

Wow! That looks like a great result for Katie!!!.... Tho the break point conversion rates AliBlahBlah pointed out suggest it was closer than your average 2&2 and she came out such a quick winner because she must have played the big points very well and got a bit lucky.

I'm guessing no-one actually saw it?

I don't follow juniors quite as closely but that must be the most promising result since Laura Robson beat top seed Melanie Ouden at Jnr Wimbledon 2008. Let's hope she can follow it up similarly to how Laura did then!!

Big win and Katie is a huge talent, climbing the junior rankings very quickly and still just 15.

The only concern is I don't see many titles other than a grade 4. Lots of SF and RU. Let's hope this changes soon.

QF: (14) Katie Swan 15yo JWR 31 vs (11) Raveena Kingsley (USA) 16yo JWR 26

For whatever it may be worth ( I think often rather less than meets the eye in juniors ), seeds 4 & 5 contest the other match in the top half and the bottom half has no seeds left.

We have a doubles semi finalist.

Well done Emily.
