Girls: Wimbledon 2016, grass - Grade A (Week 27)

Sim · County player

Bad news: Katie Swan retires when 5-6 down in 1st set.

Pity. She's clearly been struggling a bit with hopefully not too serious injury issues and perhaps it was just pushing it too hard to really be back for the Wimbledon weeks.

Hope she can now get things settled with a bit of time.

Sad news for Katie having to retire, and she looked really upset too :( Looked like a recurrence of the problem that kept her out in the lead up to Wimbledon.

Axon loses 61 75. Bit disappointing that one

Maia falling apart since the rain as well which is disappointing.

Expected more wins that we are getting.

Jodie a set up but a break down

Jodie did come through to win the third set nicely, though, 6-1

Shame Maia and Georgie couldn't take advantage of favourable draws. But Maia has played reasonably little top level tennis recently, and isn't really a grass court player, it's not that surprising.
Don't think Ali or Lauryn JB really ever had a chance against top opponents

Emily Appleton lost 3&3 too.

Not a particularly great return, but our three girls who are through all bring recent good form into the week so here's hoping ...

All the best to them.

Spectator · All-time great

Kayla Day is a difficult draw, and from what CD says, Dayana Yastremska is, too. But the GB girls are all talented and battlers, so it seems reasonable to hope.

Fran Jones is at 6-4 4-4*
