philwrig · Hall of fame

Just had a quick look at Simmonds form, and it is not bad, certainly comfortably better than that displayed by Laura in Lexington. I saw her in Eilat, nothing special at that stage ( Hev played rubbish in that match and still won relatively comfortably) , but playing a bit better now, was a decent junior, may have had a few injuries along the way, and played with Freya earlier this year in doubles.

I think 2 through would be par, anymore a Brucie bonus.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

It would be nice to see Freya have a bit of a run here, she doesn't appear to have had the best of luck since a nice run in the Far East due to niggling injuries. Danielle Lao at 5'3" fits the stereotypical very mobile buzzin back and forth, lob it back type player that I think frustrates Freya at the moment, lets hope Freya can swat her quickly and get plenty of matches under her belt this week.
