Good heavens that's some result for Angelica! I see she has a JCH of 199, but apart from the fact she's played her junior career over in the US under US nationality, does anyone know much about her?

Her birthplace says Montgomery, which I assume is Montgomery, Wales rather than Alabama.

I was very curios when she switched earlier in the year, as it did come across a bit of a notable addition, and there is a bit more info from posters in there. She referenced that some of her family are from the UK and she did live here a bit when she was younger, but I'm sure she was born in the States. But those certainly are notable results, particularly Alice as you say because Alice had won routinely earlier in the day, so surely not a case of her being exhausted from that. Quite exciting.

 She was born in the US ( in Philadelphia I believe) . Her parents are British . Not sure about Montgomery, maybe Montgomery County, which is a suburb of Philadelphia. But the family have lived in Florida for a number of years, which is where Angelica trained and competed.

In yhe light of all this discussion, it's going to be interesting to see how she gets on against Holly H who has just finished her third year at college.

Good stuff. Interesting final. I'd be tempted to give Angelica a Woking MDWC regardless of the result.

I'm assuming the match time lengths are wrong.

There may well have been a rain delay - when I looked at the forecast earlier it ws pretty poor. But some of the reported match times have been a bit odd anyway. I would expect both those matches to be more like 90 mins than over three hours.

Ah, that would make more sense - I didn't even realise they were playing outside. Assumed they would be where the WTA Nottingham indoor matches were.

I am sure none of the match times are accurate as I was there earlier in the week. There was only one person running the tournament with no help and eight courts in use when qualifying and md last 32 and last 16 so probably not easy to get the times right while trying to be in lots of places at the same time.

 Am going to be very interested to see how this final turns out. Has been extremely impressive from Angelica this week so far!

Well done to Angelica. And great for the wildcard.

The score says rather a lot about Freya at the moment - it's a shame.

I hope she gets a wild card for Chiswick too - but I think it would only be a QWC if any. I'm hoping to go again this year, so fingers crossed.
