Great to see Ema playing in a very strong college programme at Duke but didnt feature much as a freshman hopefully shes fit and s a strong summer will put her in a good position to complete for a slot next year. A bit like Emily Arb some good players after a degree from Duke, bringing tough competition for places, Ema could have probably played a prominent part in one of the weaker power conference programmes.
Based on them as 17 year-olds though, there was a big gap in tennis between Emily Arb and Ema L - not saying that Ema L was chopped liver, she had a nice game, but Em Arb stood out from the crowd (in my opinion at the time, better than Maia L, say, who has a similar game, and Em App)
Ema and Alice are playing doubles together later today too.
To note too that Ema's point here is her only current counter, though she has held at least one previously - her last counter expired in Jan this year.
