Week 9 - ITF ($15K) - Macon, France Hard


Fiona is a player who's been mentioned before as playing practically every week, week in and out, and barely winning a match apart from where there is a very favourable draw, a retirement or some such Act of God.....

However, by dint of enough flukey wins by entering enough tournaments, she has crept up the rankings.

This morning, she was the rank outsider in her match against a player who barely plays ITF tennis. As a major Fiona sceptic, even I thought, with purpose, that that was overdoing it a bit. However, it doesn't boost Fiona's credentials or detract from the fact that Maia's ranking is WAY more solid than Fiona's.

Laura D got an immediate break against the Swiss 16 year-old but then was broken back...

Leonie has stopped playing juniors and is concentrating on seniors. Decent results for a girl her age. But obviously a bit mixed....

Allez, Laura.

Laura won fewer points in the match, in fact trailed in many of the stats, but the young Swiss second serve was a liability and seems the difference in the end.
Well done Laura. GB 1-8 SUI

Now over to Sarah Beth, currently warming up, to get another.

Beth started really well, and then seemed to go into meltdown....

Now 0-3 down in the second...

SBG now in whatever the opposite of a meltdown is. From 3-6 1-5 to 3-6 5-5* !

Sad face time...

Beth lost 5-7 in the second set.

Didn't expect that.

Karamoko lost in QR2 in the Wirral. And doesn't have much pedigree (that one can see, without knowing her).

Never mind......

Massive 20-point game at 5-5* but Beth couldn't take the break points. If she had, I think she would have turned it around. Ah well ...

CD's estimation of Mlle Codino proves, as ever, accurate, and Maia wins, 6-3 6-2
