That's a decent result for Danielle - Sophie isn't quite the calibre of her sister, Victoria, who's been top 450 WTA (and is now about 600), but it's a very tennis family and Sophie's had a lot of success in French junior tennis.

Danielle unfortunately gets Andrea Ka, 6th seed in the first round. Just to note that Danielle has a single 1 pt counter from Israel in March.

R32: Danielle DALEY (GBR) [Q] UNR 18yrs (JCH:362 July 18) vs Andrea KA (CAM) [6] 763 (CH:560 June 17)

A decent showing by Helena but that's all. She let each set slip at the end. In the first she was 4-3* up with 2 BPs, then lost 12 of the next 13 points, and in the second set she was 4-2 up and lost the last 4 games.

R32: Helena JANSEN FIGUERAS (GBR) [WC] UNR 18yrs (JCH:290 Jan 17) lost to Astrid Wanja BRUNE OLSEN (NOR) [Q] UNR (CH:953 July 17) 19yrs (JCH:47 April 17) 4-6 4-6

Well done to Anna biggrin So at least 4 doubles pts.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Vicki Muntean (the top seed) has just taken three long sets to see off a qualifier. And sister Sophie, as above re Danielle, is not in the same league. So good luck to Anna P and Nadia - go, girls !
