Girls: J1 Roehampton, grass (Week 27)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

With thanks to David's scoreboard link:

Holly lost 3-6 3-6 to Joanna Garland.

Decent score against a girl who plays well and is two years older.

Diane Parry (FRA) won easily too

Emma is into a third set against her French opponent.

Emma romped home in the third set

And Sasha has managed to take it to a third as well....

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

And, bless her, Sasha does it for the second time of asking - another long, three set win

That's got to be a wildcard into Wimbly junior main draw now surely......

I was overly optimistic about Sonay's chances. Or underestimated Carole :(

Monnet won 6-1 6-3

Well done Sasha Hill.
Showing them, that there are, later developers.
Hopefully someone at the LTA will remember her name now & reward her efforts with a wildcard next week.

Emma could help Sasha's cause by winning two more matches, and claiming a Special Exempt into Wimbledon, freeing up a wildcard. Next up for her is the 4th seed, who beat Emily App in one of her Cancun $15K finals this year. All British interest in the doubles event evaporated in the first round.

Yes, well done again to Sasha in following up her terrific R1 win.

CD is very kind in not naming and shaming that LTA woman alhough I think Michael is right in this being what you can get in a blunt edged organisation with people holding jobs rather than really doing jobs to best fulfil their role, meaning that such nonsense can then result.

Yes, but we all have a good idea who he is referring to and I doubt she has any way on wildcards.

indiana · Tennis legend

OK then, I don't know who, nor sure that she gets a pass even if no say on WCs.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

I don't care if she has an express say on wildcards, she has an important role in tennis and should know the players.

Hope Emma's OK....
