Week 24 -WTA International ($225k) Nottingham, Grass

Jiwan · Club Coach

A third straight hold to love on serve for Myers *5-4

This 'injury' is looking even more suspect

Jiwan · Club Coach

That's a fantastic win for ella

PaulM · Tennis legend

Wow. Well done!!

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

She's pint sized but she has done it !

Jiwan · Club Coach

She wins 4-6 6-1 6-4

She held her nerve and composure in the end.

I only caught the last three games, but she certainly looked very calm. Tremendous win, and a big jump up the rankings on its way.

Super win there. Would have left a bad taste if Myers came back to win after the extended time out, but she held her nerve well - great stuff.

The Chinese player Zheng next, #1 seed, but I don't particularly rate. Had this have been Katie, Tara or even Eden or Jodie then I might have fancied their chances, but likely a step too far for Ella. Nice to see her backing up that win last week though and that should see her in the 800's now.

Mervatron2 · Futures level

Great win. Good job Ella.

Good to see Tara get a good win on the board. Maybe now she can get a run of wins together.

Super for Ella biggrin

Strides past that has-been Radacanu in the live rankings.

Great to see both Ella and Emma adding points like they have to bring GB #23 & 24 closer to the top 22 with the further leap to the top 20 beyond Emily Arb and poor Mandy.

flamingowings · All-time great

Ohhh apparently if Jo and Heather win their R1 matches they face each other in R2 - is that correct?

There'll be other means to watch I guess but shame that this event isn't on BT and Eurosport don't pick up their coverage until Thursday so this potential clash may have already taken place by then.
