R32: Emma RADUCANU (GBR) [2] 588/102 def. Maya TAHAN (ISR) UNR/42 (CH:587 Dec 18) 2-6 6-1 6-3

Emma will play next a 15yr old qualifier who has just come through a three set match 6-1 in the third. It still should be an easier match than her first round.

R16: Emma RADUCANU (GBR) [2] 588/102 vs Sabrina KALANDAROV (ISR) [Q] UNR/UNR 15yrs (JCH:462 March 19)

Emma is underway and a break up already, 3-1*

She was/is a huge favourite to win this one, as was her potential QF opponent Zakarlyuk (5) who came through her match 6-2 6-0 a little earlier.

Good win for Emma, and 5th seed up next, who is still only 22 but whose CH was 5+ years ago. This is just her 2nd tournament this year. Previous she lost first round of a W25.

Does this tourney get her WTA points or just ITF points? I'm well confused by the new points system.

ITF, but should come in handy in the future. She'll get a chance for WTA points in the next 2 weeks and this run should help her get into overseas 25k's later in the year. She tried to get in to 2 recent Japanese 25k events, but wasn't high enough, plus her current ITF ranking wasn't high enough to get her into the Bolton or Sunderland IR (ITF Reserved) spaces, do a boost yo that ranking won't harm at all 

5 games in a row for her now, to the loss of just 5 points, and the first set in the bag.

6-3 *0-0

But she's doing a good job of attempting that, back on serve.

*4-4
