Emily played 11 senior tournaments in 2016 and 7 in 2015.

I thought she had stated a bit early in 2015 given her junior rank but retrospectively the balance seems spot on and consistent with her developmental needs.

There is no point in getting hammered each week playing adults and definitely no halm in progressing deep into or winning a junior slam. The plan for 2017 so far seems a good one and long may that continue.
