Amarni Banks v (10) Giulia Morlet (FRA)
Nice to get three out of three wins for the GB girls.
They've now got a couple of France's finest. (Don't know the Swedish girl)
Guilia Morlet (born 2002) is probably, just, the star of the two.
She won the National championships last August (in U16). And won it three years before that too. Never seen her live but watched a fair bit on videos. Her favourite female player, she says, is Caro Wozniacki - and it shows
Carole Monnet is 2001 (although only about 2 months older than Gulia).
She was also champion of France in the U16 (in 2017). Don't think she played last year.
Adult ITF ranked 131 and ex-WTA 726
More aggressive player, she claims that one of her major assets is the fact that she is right-handed but left-eyed.
Next up for Marni is a Brazilian who has just won her first main draw match in Europe, following an unproductive trip in 2017. She did however reach the final of the closed South American Grade 1 event in her last tournament
