Week 16 - ITF ($50K) - Dothan, USA Clay

Peter too · Tennis legend

If all goes to form Jo is scheduled to meet the 3rd seed 19 year old Sachia Vickery 126 in the QF (Jo beat her two straight in the French Open last year). If she wins that she is likely to play the top seed Grace Min 128 in the SF (Jo beat her two straight in the Australian Open last year).
She might then meet Larcher the Banshee in the final who she has lost to twice before, in 2007 and 2012.

It will be interesting to see how Jo does against Kat Stewart if that match up happens. She is another strong, up and coming US junior, just behind Cici Bellis.

She won the $25k in Palm Harbour a couple of weeks ago, beating Zanevska in the final.

Critical year for Jo, you feel. I really hope she can put a run of results together before the pre-Wimbledon warm up tournaments. I can't help but think that Judy could do wonders for Jo full time. Hey-ho.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Jo played well, slice serve on the deuce side very effective.

Good stuff.

That's only the second MD non Heather win above 25K level for any of our women this year. Cav has the previous one in the Midland, USA 100K in early February.

Hope to see that number now steadily rising including more from Jo.

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

Despite being only 17, I think young Miss Stewart may prove to be a handful. She has already achieved

4 x 10K singles titles plus 2 x runner-up slots

1 x 10k dubs title plus 2 x runner-up slots

1 x 25k singles title

1 x 25k dubs title !!!!!!

Well done Jo; GL in R2 :)
