Jodie beat Jennifer 6-7(6) 6-1 6-0

Bit of a shame for Jodie to go all that way and end up playing a basically British player.

But third seed, Georgina, lost out 6-3 6-2

They both also gave a walkover in their doubles - maybe Georgie is injured, or just wanted to get home asap

Jodie came through that without too much trouble:

 

Quarterfinal

Jodie Anna BURRAGE (GBR) [6]   6-3  7-6(3)   Mihaela Lorena MARCULESCU (ROU)

 

Into the semis against a Polish qualifier, age 14

Jodie won 7-5 6-1. And according to what I saw from twitter, possibly the final too.

 Excellent result for Jodie taking her into her first G2 final. There was a tweet yesterday which prematurely put her into the final. After taking out a 14 year old on a long unbeaten run an even more precocious 13 year old awaits.

Final

(6) Jodie Anna Burrage v (WC) Marta Kostyuk (UKR)

Trying to find out what a 13yo wild card might have made the Final, after a false start when ITF only offered up Mariya Kostyuk (presumably Marta's sister and now a US college player) until I looked only on their junior site, I eventually came across this http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2016/01/31/2267435-kostyuk-une-histoire-a-ecrire.html (she went on to win the Tarbes/Petits As final)

That's a great week for Jodie.

Won 6-3 6-3

Kostyuk not only won the Petits As but also the Junior Orange Bowl and the Eddie Herr, I think.

As said before, I would put Jodie up there with Katie - she's a different physique and style of play so is not quite on the same path but there's just as much potential.

Great job
