Daria deserved the win against Alexa but that's about all you can say I think.
It was a match of two players with abominable styles for what should be one of the best junior matches of the year!
Daria plays like a post mini-green player but is very consistent with it and Alexa just has an awful style that's only effective as the other juniors haven't worked it out yet.
I'll not reference Alexa's attitude on court but I'm glad she's nothing to do with me!
Both players will have a natural ceiling of achievement unless they disassemble their current styles and rebuild them into something a bit more positive.
There were so many other players in that event that have a whole load more potential for the future including several GB players!
After Anton beats one Roehampton champion today can Erin beat another tomorrow? It is an even more daunting task, as the Ukrainian was also a semifinalist at the Australian Open, and has a 29-8 record so far in WTA/ITFs having won 25K and 15K events
