Quarter final results

Alicia Barnett [1/531] def Francesca Franchi 6-1 6-2
Tanysha Dissanayake [4] def Mj Changwereza Walkover

Taro Keens [3] def Alessandra Ruggieri 6-4 6-4
Olivia Elliott [2] def Iman Garshong [5] 6-2 3-6 7-5

Mj Changwereza didn't actually play a match this week - two walkovers got her to the QF. I don't know if she got the £75 prize money for getting that far !

Edit - I actually had that ready to post, but got delayed by a phone call, so CD beat me to it !

Qualifying is a real mess. 10 byes and 5 walkovers so far. It'll be a big surprise if Lissey doesn't steamroller the field.

Well no surprises ! Just the one tight match. Well done Lissey !

There's one of the short three-day Tour events this weekend at Nottingham.

Worthy of note in particular because I suddenly noticed Eliz Maloney's name on the list - she was nearly top 100 in juniors a year ago but hasn't played any ITF events (adults or juniors) since last October.

Don't know if it's been injury but it's great to see her back.

If not injury, may well have been studies too as mega congrats to her on her A level results, seemingly she got A*A*A

From the same site, and in passing, a congrats too to another of our juniors, Aleksandra Topalovic, who achieved a Distinction* double Distinction in her Level 3 Sports course.
