Week 24 - ITF ($50K) - Ilkley, UK - Grass


Yeah she could have been a break up in the second and had chances to break back in the third, but couldn't quite get back into it.

Impressed though.

Emily sent down a lot of aces even in set 3; a very creditable showing :)

Not sure on the scheduling. Why haven't they scheduled any L16 matches today? Last match in L32 close to finishing and forecast is mixed for tomorrow...

Very impressed with young Emily, Burger didn't turn up in the 1st set, but Em was top notch, 1st serve in particular is a huge weapon. 2nd set Burger wore down the Brit, putting more and more pressure on her, and eventually young Em buckled a little. 3rd set followed the same trend, until Em found a 2nd wind to get 0-40, but she couldn't quite get the break, otherwise it would have been very tight. Still though, if all goes to plan defo top 100 potential, but a dead cert top 200 player.

Sam pushing Rodina really close but not taking her chances, and so finds herself a break down

*2-4

Sam had break points in every return game. Result is that despite saving a set point to hold for 4-5*, the set sneaks away with 3 more break points going begging in the final game (she's 1 from 10).

But she's right in this, could have won that set. Hope she can keep up a good level in the second set.

Sam's first serve percentage dropped off in set 2; she goes down 4&3 :(
Very good fight though against the world #113 :)

Shame, she absolutely could have taken the first set. Another step forward though and she deserves a QWC spot. Would stand a very good shot at a winning a couple of matches.

Looks to have been another good ( but probably not that unexpected ) level of performance.

One does wonder what's been keeping the LTA / AELTC from doing what needs done for Samantha (28).

Though I imagine it will now be left till after the play-offs as to whether it is her or an extra play-off player for I understand one remaining Q WC.

Eastbourne qualifiers or Wimbledon qualifiers - surely Sam deserves to get one of these.

Down to play 10k in Portugal after this. Still not using protected ranking....
