Nehir Tuna is a Junior from Turkey


I knew I should have put an asterisk by her. UTR entry list would have listed her as Bath, UK being based at Bath Academy - thus Cardiff Met showing her as GBR on their published entry list. On screen graphics do show her as Turkish.

Well, Leticia beat Summer Yardley so I'm happy

(sorry, Summer, I just know Leticia better and like her mum's demeanour as a specator, unlike that of a lot of others)

At the Cardiff PTT the winner of the play-offs for group winners was Aneta Laboutkova defeating Romanian adopted Brit Karola Bejenaru. They defeated the other group winners Erin Pearce and Indi Spink yesterday. Melissa Boyden won the play-offs of those finishing 2nd in the groups, Izzie Britton won the play-offs of group 3rd place finishers, Victoria Kapica won the play-offs for 4th place group finishers and Keira Blackbeard for the play-offs for those finishing bottom of their group.

In the Winston-Salem PTT, all 4 group winners were Wake Forest players on their home courts. Luca and DK Suresh defeated the other group winners and are played the final of the 1st place play-off in a rematch of the ITF final from a couple of months ago. Luca unfortunately lost an entertaining match in straight sets, losing the tie-break in both sets.

Gabia is playing the PTT in Boca Raton, starting today. She's been training and partaking in the team Christmas festivities this past week.
Abby Amos is in the Czechia PTT starting tomorrow.

Rosie Cho apparently played Battle of Boca last weekend as a warm up for the Junior Orange Bowl this week. Battle of Boca is a weekly weekend UTR event with $2,000 to the winner, with Blu Baker winning it more than anyone else such that they retired the presentation cheque and gave it to him after his 11th title in July. He's since won a 12th title. Anyway I digress. No idea how Rosie did.

Meanwhile in the $25k PTT event this week in Boca Raton, Gabia has won all her round-robin matches but today faces a much stiffer test in Alicia Herrero Linana who's at a CH WTA ranking of 605. I've no idea what the format of this event is and whether they're into a knock-out stage or there is another group stage*. It seems to have been a 24 player event (6 groups of 4), which is now down to 12 players with 4 days remaining.
