Emily gets the win, easily, as expected.

Will get Amy Bowtell next which should be a fair bit more of a challenge.

Ema a break up in the second.....

Indeed, Sasha wins 6-4 6-3

I believe that Sasha's camp were pretty disappointed not to be given a junior Wimbly MD wildcard (along with Gemma). The two had the best results at Roehampton (along with Nell) - she played very well, very businesslike, as said, both in qualis and the MD - yet Destinee and Vicki Allen got the wildcards (although there were TONS left over so enough to go round....).

But seemingly Sasha is also not one of the 'in' crowd.

Very pleased for her. Great week she's having.

Well, congrats to the Irish for putting on a 15k tournament and showing what can happen when you do, both regards their own players, as well as GBs. However... what comes next, and how are these players given an opportunity of actually gaining the other two counters to get their actual ranking? I suppose next year, it will be easier with the transition tour, but whatever the tour arrangements, as a national tennis association you still have to provide players with the opportunity to get onto the ladder, however that ladder is constructed.

Still lovely to see Sasha gain two wins and two points so far, Tiff a couple more wins too, Emily an opportunity to have a little run of wins, which she needs, and Ema the chance to gain her second counter... All from one 15k, and this is just the Brit girls.
