I doubt she's home and dry but, in a really tight set, Mirabelle comes out on top, 7-5, against the top seed !

Whatever happens, it looks like her game has stepped up to the adult level, a 'déclic' as the French would say, and the learning tournaments last year really served their purpose.

It's her birthday tomorrow, she turns 18 (still a junior technically) - would be nice to beat the top 500 (ex top 220 player) to be still on course for her birthday. :)

She was 2-0 in the second set, pegged back to 2-2 and now 5-5, so a real fight.

Great stuff. What a good start to the year for Mirabelle.

Merciless against weaker players and very competitive and beating very decently ranked players.

Very well done to Mirabelle

L32: (Q) Mirabelle Njoze UNR beat (1) Anna-Giulia Remondina (ITA) WR 408 (CH 219 in 2011) by 7-5 7-6(4)

L16: (Q) Mirabelle Njoze UNR v (Q) Deborah Chiesa (ITA) WR 713 (= CH; 18yo junior CH 82 in 2013)

Edit: Peter beat me to it by a minute or so wink but I'm going to leave this in because it's got Remondina's up to date ranking, which is more important than usual given that we are talking about a career high scalp
