Week 20 - ITF ($60K) - Saint-Gaudens, France Clay

blob · All-time great

That is Sarah Beth's second best ever ranking victory

Michael D · All-time great

Quite some turn around for Beth in those breezy conditions to win the last 6 games in a row! The time I looked she was trying to clear dust from her eyes...

Do your stats pick up these things blob - only asking because I happened to look at Helen's table just before you posted.

Not exactly, I look at Helen's wonderful table first. If it's a CH then report that, otherwise, if it's close, I check my records which cover 2017-18 and then filter down Jeff Sackmann's data to fill in gaps prior.

Not surprising they give their players wildcards
Except the only league thread I could find CD doesn't say WHICH league team she is playing for? Maybe i'm looking in the wrong place under General Discussion?

Sorry !

You're right - I couldn't be bothered to put in the teams too (my bad cry ), didn't think anyone cared really which team it was, just whether they'd won or lost, and it was St Gaudens last year and hadn't changed ....

But I'll try and rectify that.

Eden did indeed play team tennis for St Gaudens today, losing her singles to Lou Adler but winning her dubs and the team won 5-1.

If Beth had any interest in playing French team tennis, she'll have done her cause a lot of good by taking out Sara so nicely today - as said above, Sara is not a rising star as such but she's a solid player and the ranking difference is important - Beth did well.

Well, hard for you to predict CD that it would suddenly become a question as to whether Eden played for St Gaudens or not! smile

Losing to Lou Adler, WR 766, is not a good team tennis result for Eden however. cry

Thanks CD, no doubt my vague memory of her playing for Saint Gaudens was probably derived from you explaining why she got the WC last Year. Your insight into the French league and the game of the french players is very much appreciated

Sorry Eden but that does look a decent draw for Beth and Olivia and I hope they get the win on their step up to 60K.

You just go and beat Patty Schnyder !!
