Week 7 - ITF ($25K) - Perth(2), Australia (Hard)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Tessah has been talked about a fair bit on this forum.

Just to mention again, she's 17, ex JWR 29, but didn't play much junior stuff last year (just the biggies), hence her good adult ranking.

JoKo beat her comfortably; Katie Swan lost to her, but that was by an abandon in the second set on a very hot day.

However, like all youngsters, there's a fair bit of up and down in her results.....

Freya's match has begun. Let's hope that the scoreboard stays functional.

Two breaks each. Some remarkably consistent serving (81% & 92%) but it's not very effective (48% & 55% won)
*3-4
Freya takes her first lead of the set at a very useful juncture.
*5-4
Serves out to 15 exactly as the match clock ticks over to an hour.
Came on strong in the second half of that set (Freya was down 7 points in the total spread at one point, but finished +5).
6-4

There will now be the ubiquitous 'toilet' break between sets...

One break each in set 2
6-4 4-4*
Freya repeats her timely trick from set 1 to break, and earn a chance to serve it out.
Go Freya!
6-4 *5-4
2 MP, at *40-15...
Both gone. Deuce.
But, there's a third...
Woo! And, just like that, a point appeared

GSM Freya 6-4 6-4

That seems a very solid and unfussy, good professional performance.
Q spots mostly look daunting, against seeds numbered 1, 2, 4, 5. But there is a Q Vs. Q match up also.
Let's see how the placements work out.
