Week 38 - ITF ($10K) - Nottingham, UK - Hard

indiana · Tennis legend

Yea broke for *5-4 and had a MP, but saved and Victoria broke back so the fun continues.

5-5

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Four breaks of serve in the third set, in total, as Vicki saves one match point and it's now 5-5

I feel for their poor parents !!!

But it's been a super performance by both.

18 point gane I believe, mostly Victoria game points but she did save a BP and eventually held.

Victoria 6-5* and 3 hours is up.

Good to see the youth of today taking plenty exercise.

Peter too · Tennis legend

Now past the 3 hour mark.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Victoria had three match points.

But it's now a tie-break, which only seems apt and fitting....

Mercy me, 0-40 and 3 BPs / MPs to Victoria so Gemma wins the next 5 points.

Final set TB !

Well done Miss Allen - nothing to split the two it seems

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

And after 3hrs and 19 mins, it's Victoria Allen who comes through.

Amazing week for her. Well done to Notts too.

And to Gemma, as well.

Hope the LTA take note (or maybe they already have).

Now someone go and make those girls a big bowl of pasta !

Soumeya Anane has just finished US college, according to The Optimist's list, and - with this point in the doubles, after those from the trip to Turkey in summer - will now have three counters and get herself a doubles ranking (I think).

Natasha Hillyer, her partner (both here and Turkey), will also get her doubles ranking back, at age 28.

Think this will be Emma Hurst's third doubles counter, too, to reclaim a doubles ranking for her.
