If you include GB itself, in all-GB matches, then Guatemala becomes the 75th country to provide an opponent against which our players have played at least one professional match this year.
And... we have a winning record against them now
Ms. Burrage doing the business, in a competitive match, 6-4 6-4

I always thought she was from Guam, strangely Anglican name for someone from Guatemala but apparently it is correct

She is on Wikipedia as being Guatemalan - code for Guam would be GUM.

She seems to use only the 2nd part of her first name, Andrea, which is a fairly common name in Spanish-speaking countries - there's a Guatemalan TV clip about her here http://www.guatevision.com/2017/01/12/cartas-femeninas-del-tenis/ and her tennis life story at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP1FdVrRmmM, where it's pretty clear that she has lived in Guatemala all her life, though I can't find anything that explains why she has an anglophone surname but presumably she her father (or earlier ancestor on her father's side) was from an anglophone country.

She certainly 'did' (in) the Macarena today wink

It is actually a standard Spanish girl's name but the fact that Jodie's opponent today was born not long after the Atlanta Olympics (9 months, in fact), suggests that her parents probably were prompted to name her by the .. er .. song. Still, she must like the name herself or presumably she'd have dropped it by now.

Well done Jodie biggrin - seems as if she's commited to ITF/WTA given the number of events she's played - still a few counters to go smile

From 2-4 down, Jodie came on strong to take the first set in to a TB, and proceeded to power through that TB, 7-6(1)
