Boys & Girls: J4 Dublin - Ireland - Hard (indoor) (Week 28)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Sam is under-ranked and a talented, athletic player, with very little help/zero from the UK tennis system. He's played three matches here and only lost three games.
I like Charlotte's game too (although not quite in Sam's league) - but she plays a fluid game, with good arm speed, which is nice to see.

Boys QF:

Matthew RUTTER (GBR) [4] 6-2 6-3 Nicolas HERRERO CUESTA (ESP)
Ondrej HORAK (CZE) [3] 6-1 6-1 Louis SKUPIEN (GBR) [7]
Sam BOSSEM (GBR) [2] 6-2 6-0 Max GRAHAM (GBR)

Girls QF:

Charlotte RUSSELL (GBR) [1] 7-6(2) 7-5 Sarah O'CONNOR (IRL)

And a good run for Matthew Rutter. Final in Cork & Semi Final in Dublin.

Agree about Charlotte - always goes about her business in a tidy & professional way.

As above, no surprise that Sam annihilated his SF too.

And Charlotte as well.

No joy for Matt Rutter, though.

BOYS SF:

Dominik RYS (CZE) [6] 6-4 6-4 Matthew RUTTER (GBR) [4]

Sam BOSSEM (GBR) [2] 6-2 6-1 Ondrej HORAK (CZE) [3]

GIRLS SF:

Charlotte RUSSELL (GBR) [1] 6-1 6-1 Alicja FORMELLA (POL)

In the final, Charlotte will play the 2004-born French girl who was runner up in Cork.

And Charlotte is also into the final of the dubs:

Girls Dubs SF:

Charlotte RUSSELL (GBR) / Fausta ZYKUTE (LTU) [1] 6-3 6-1 Lola O'LIDEADHA (IRL) / Sol O'LIDEADHA (IRL)

As predicted, Sam walked this tournament - he is far higher than G4 standard, and under-ranked; should have had a WC into the Wimbly qualis in my view.

But it's good to learn to do the business, easily and without fuss, against lower opposition too, so well done to him.

Charlotte came up short against the French unseeded 2004-born girl who made the final in Cork. Her dubs final to come....

Boys FINAL: Sam BOSSEM (GBR) [2] def. RYS (CZE) [6] 6-4 6-1

Girls FINAL: Chloe NOEL (FRA) def. Charlotte RUSSELL (GBR) [1] 6-2 6-2

And Charlotte gets a trophy in the dubs:

Girls Doubles Final:

Charlotte RUSSELL (GBR) / Fausta ZYKUTE (LTU) [1] 6-3 6-4 Sahra DENNEHY (AUS) / Chloe NOEL (FRA)
