I wonder why Eden hasn't played much? She was one of our better juniors

I guess Eden is still one of our better juniors.

But don't know why she's been not competing for a while - can't even remember if she played the National championships this year????

However, she's won her first match here, 6-4 6-3

As has Adam Jones, 6-1 7-6

James Davies had to retire.

Max Stewart is into a third set.

Brilliant day in Israel.

By the way, am proud that I managed to navigate my way round an Israeli/Modern hebrew site (with no English option that I could see) and STILL found the livescore feed:

www.ita.co.il/news.php

net ,net, wins for all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way that the odd English word is thrown in "WINNER" and the scroll bar is on the left hand side. I assume that is due to the way Hebrew is written from right to left.

I'm a big fan of Megan's. She is a lovely shot maker. She hasn't played much this year and most of her success at grade 4 & 5, so good to see her stepping up.

I suspect this will be down to emphasis on schooling rather than tennis and she will be another to end up at a US college.

At 16 Megan's rank is better than the average rank of the top 20 college players junior career highs at the moment, only 5/20 reached a career high of <100 so she would be a fantastic recruit for someone but might not be too challenged from a tennis perspective for the next 4 years, on leaving the junior scene.

Things going well so far this week.

Rain wiped out play here yesterday (and in the South Carolina G4) but Ewan is on court at the moment, having taken the opening set 6-4 but trailing 1-2* in the second.

Ewan comes back in the second set to take the match 6-4 6-4 and make his first G2 final (he was runner-up in a G1 event earlier in the year though). The other semi has just moved into a third set

With a singles and doubles final, Ewan's ranking will fly up. Possibly to around 70 or higher if successful.

Might even get a direct entry to Aus Open.
