Good luck to Eliz, our Turkish Cypriot player.

I'd thought her break from tennis was due to injury but a couple of articles in Cyprus Today say it was just to finish A levels. Which is great news.

She's been around the region this year though - Bulgaria, Belarus, Georgia, Germany and Israel, and played in Istanbul too, even if the majority of her tournaments are in Antalya wink

I know Antalya is always on the calendar, but I hadn't counted up the tournaments before. They put on 35 women's events this year.

Shame the U.K. cant put on a single 15k When you look at those numbers held in Antalya.

the addict · Tennis legend

Eliz on court, live stream available on the ITF site. Eliz in the white skirt. 3-3* - saved four break points in the last game with some great play.

indiana · Tennis legend

Eliz 5-7 0-2* against (7) Sezer WR 637 (CH 336 in 2014)

Looks a very decent effort but tough now.

the addict · Tennis legend

Tough indeed. After a very close first set, the second set was over in 27 minutes.
Still, a very good week, and plenty of promise there. Some of her play reminded me of Heather Watson !
