Girls: Nike Junior International Roehampton, grass - Grade 1 (Week 26)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Not much joy in the last 2 hours with Gabi losing 6-4 in the third and Eden also losing in 3 despite claiming the second set 6-0. Ema and Georgie lost easily while Holly has just lost a long first set tiebreak. Earlier Jodie had an impressive scoreline against the second seed, losing 7-6(6) 7-6(6)

philwrig · Hall of fame

Good test for Katie against Naiktha, as the young lady originally from Leeds is in very good form.

Great result for Ali, who beats Teichmann (previous JCH3) 6-4, 5-7, 7-6(4)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Unbelievably they kept play going on Ali's court until 9.37, well after other matches had been suspended and she won 6-4 5-7 7-6(4) against someone who has won a Grade A, beat Katie at the French Open and is top 500 WTA

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Very very impressive and exciting for Ali. Hopefully she be able to keep calm tomorrow and have enough puff left for Olesya or Sofia in round 2.

vohor · Grand Slam Champion

Wow. So glad I didn't hang around for the third set. I'd have still been traveling....

But a brilliant day's tennis, absolutely loved it - well done to all the youngsters. biggrin

Emily Arbuthnott has won her match, versus the 7th seed !!!

6-4 7-5

Emily plays a really sporty tennis, with good timing and weight transfer, very nice.

Maia lost out 6-2 7-5 (really liked her Dutch coach, though - saying such sensible, good things to her the whole time - unlike some one could mention).

katie Swan comes through 6-4 6-3 - from the way the scores went, the first set was really tight and then second a lot easier.

Freya is a set up.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

And Freya, having put out her seed yesterday, wins with ease today: 6-2 6-2

TennisLover · Strong Club Player

I don't follow junior tennis but if one of my fav Freya is playing, don't mind. Well done to her and Emily for taking out 7th seed.

I know what you mean, Tennislover - Freya is the real deal and so exciting to watch.

When I was looking up last night how many points each Brit winner would get, net, i was amazed to see how few junior matches Freya has played. (Or adult matches either really).

I know she's had a little injury recently but not previously, I don't think.

I don't know what her programme is - it's obviously deliberate, there must be a plan behind it.

(Mind you, TennisL, if you're a fan of Freya, you'll have to take Jodie under your wing too - very similar style of tennis, exciting stuff, not quite the same serene temperament as Freya, but all good!).

Thanks for pointer on Jodie. Will keep an eye on her as well. The more players like that, the better. Always like players who play bold tennis :). With them, it's always a matter of time.
