Andrea, born 2004, is our other hope still left in - great that two such youngsters are doing so well (and Tiana, born 2003, and Hannah, born 2004, making the QFs too)

Little Eva was a play on words, a reference to Little Eva, aka Eva Boyd, the amazing singer.

Although I have no problem with 'little' and 'tiddler' - it doesn't imply they're not ready to play this level, any more than 'young' does.

Add: to reply to Oakie's message below here, because otherwise it'll derail the thread rather, to me 'little' is a word very similar to 'young. If I talk about my friend's 'little girl', I'm not concerned whether she's big for her age or not, it's just a way of saying she's a 6 or 7 or whatever. So I'll call Eva 'little' just to point out that she's a lot younger than most, as well as a tribute to Little Eva, - next time I'm at one of the U14 or U12 events I'll ask the kids if they mind or have a strong opinion.

But it implies they are small particularly when their age is in brackets which is often not the case. Eva will hopefully grow taller but is already a good height and build for an U18 tennis. Obviously conditioning will be part of her development but being relatively to G4/G5 level it is progress despite relative lack of experience that is exciting. I think Andrea is in a similar position.

Little Eva was Carole King's baby sitter, she had one hit (written by Carole) which is famous but made her almost nothing, she was regularly beaten by her boyfriend (inspired the song also written by Carole; he hit me and it felt like a kiss, not good really) she retired penniless with three young children and unfortunately passed away at the age of 59. She could sing but her life was amazing for other less pleasant reasons.
