Week 19 - ITF ($50K+H) - Saint-Gaudens, France Clay

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Golubic misses one MP, her donw-the-line shot going wide.

Mandy wins the second with a great FH winner at the end of the rally.

And scraps to win the next game.

Now serving for the match !!!!

4 aces would be good. And would quadruple her usual annual total

Well, there weren't 4 - but there was 1 and a very important one !

Although it was MAJORLY contested and was obviously 99.9% out.

But who cares - that's what the umpire's for.....

Brilliant match, Mandy ! (And from the Swiss girl)

Thoroughly enjoyed it..

Surely the ump looked at the wrong mark there, no way Mandy hit an ace!

A fantastic win for her.

What a win! Number 300! Provisional ranking 284!

Happy birthday Ms Carreras!

You only need to catch 0.1% of the line to be IN.

Can she claim a SE into Caserta 25K next week, she's only on the qualifying list at present?

DF · Tennis legend

She won 2-6 6-1 7-5

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

She was gesturing that although the mark was basically out, the angle meant that it glanced the line almost before it hit i.e. 'grazed' the line before hitting the ground (you can only do it if the mark is very, very elongated).

Don't think the Swiss girl found it funny

Strongbow · All-time great

Stunning result!

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Wowzers!

I'd call that one of the very best wins by a GB lady this year. Glorious, spectacular effort from Amanda, and from a set down.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, what a day for Mandy, an ace !

Oh, well done I guess too on taking out WR 134, reaching the SF, earning another 41 points at least, on top of her very recent 31, and going to a new CH in the 200s, having started May in the 400s.
