Week 15 - ITF (W25) - Sunderland, GB - Hard Indoor

Victoria Allen quickly into gear too and 4-1* up on Armitano. Armitano looks much higher ranked than Victoria... but next week she won't be.

After her early blip, Harriet clicked into gear and has now won 7-6(1) 6-0
Victoria didn't have the problem finding gear, a set up 6-2
As for Naomi, a break down already against Noel, the qualifier she also lost to last week *2-4

I wish Victoria's match was the one on stream. Watching Naomi is painful these days!!

Yes indeed. Some impressive serving stats there for Victoria - 3 aces in a row start of the second set. However Armitano has held from 0-40 down to level at 1-1 start of second set.

As last week, Naomi's serve isn't doing the job. I haven't dared look at the stream as it would be too painful, but the stats seem to tell the story.

I have it on in the background just because I love the constant, but constant, encouragements/mutterings/implorings of the French coach

Cracker of a win for Victoria Allen - lovely consistent results from her.

Victoria continues her march up the rankings 6-2 6-3 smile

Robin Anderson, 2nd seed up next. The way she is playing, she won't be intimidated.

Naomi lost by 6-3 6-2

Rather unbelievably on an indoor hard court ITF shows Naomi as having 0 aces and 6 DFs against 7 aces and 0 DFs.

Given she converted 0/2 BPs against 4/20 and took 102 first serves against 53 it's rather clear where the constant pressure was. The final game was a Naomi service game which went 20 points and was won on the 3rd BP/MP.

There hasn't been a round up since Peter's much earlier posted match-ups. Maia stands out in the losses column. Two tough first round matches both Bolton and here, and no wins.

Laura manages a third set comeback. She now has 9 points, but only 2 counters unfortunately. Needs another point/ counter before 13 May or she will lose her ranking.

Laura seems to be a one set wonder - always runs away with the first set and then capitulates

Tara (and Emina) does the double(s) over Ponchet, winning 6-1 6-7(6) 10-4 smile

Wasn't easy but Laura got over the line

Some nice patches of tennis, though

(Sam lost out)
