Good to have more, but to an extent like senior qualifying WCs they are presumably generally playing opposition a few levels up.

All the best to Hannah.

The addict posted this link in the other tournament thread which shows how some of the girls in the main draw are warming up! Some promising results.

Exciting to see how Emma and Holly fair.

And also how Ali can continue her fine form.

That's a good trivia question. Rugby league - it's the only country in the world to classify that as its national sport.

A mixed bag really. Jodie, possibly our top player in the draw, with possibly the toughest draw. I'd like to thing Holly has a decent chance at an upset, but Osuigwe has been a standout player on the junior circuit this year.
Everyone else has winnable matches, reagardless of ranking differences. I'll be keeping an eye on 13 year old Cori Gauff, playing her first ITF event.
