Just to round out the week, Mimi beat Hannah in Glasgow and then played a cracker of a match against Mona Barthel, and was two points from the victory - but couldn't quite get the win.
However, a SF place is a monumental result for the girl who's just turned 16.

Mimi is doing so well. Delighted for her.
It's great to see a little group developing of girls roughly the same age who are all making good progress in the adult game and are also friends.

maybe I havent been watching enough but not seen Nicolas Philibert mentioned much recently - is he at college or in ITF events, juniors?
He's been playing quite a lot in men's tournaments, largely in Monastir. He's managed to qualify a couple of times but he's not often won many main draw matches yet.

Aryana was playing a UTR PTT 25k+H event in Dubai last week. She won 3 and lost 3 of her matches.
Must say this transition from junior to senior fascinates me!. Did a quick review of those with WTA ranking from CD above and added in junior rankings and those who are junior ranking and haven't a senior ranking yet. You can really see the pyramid effect. Not complete but it shows the potential of Hannah which we know and Mimi but also interesting as to those who are still low in the junior rankings and a similar age - is this down to funding and opportunity or just ability? Lambda et al over to you.
