As I'm sure's been mentioned above, Samir is 18 and was junior WR 13 a couple of years ago.
SHame for Mirabelle to not get a third set out of that match but I can't help feeling slightly pleased, though, that Egypt has a decent young woman tennis player coming through.
Turns out, top junior is quite good.
Mirabelle's improving consistently, and on another day, I get the suspicion that she would have at least pushed this one very close.
I'm already eagerly looking forward to her next outing.
QF: Mirabelle NJOZE (GBR) 613 [8] lost to Sandra SAMIR (EGY) [3] 458 2-6 6-7(6)
