Hannah completes her win. Hephzibah opens up on Centre tomorrow against the younger of the much vaunted Czech sisters - should be a good one to see as Tennisdad 101 says. Hannah is on 4th, while Henry is 6th on court 1

Hannah Read v (2) Sara Bejlek (CZE)
Hannah wins 2 & 4 not an easy match to watch with lots of unforced errors from her opponent. Tougher match round 3 vs number 2 seed. Centre court match today.
Well, Hannah took care of the second seed very nicely:
R3: Hannah Read def. (2) Sara Bejlek (CZE) 7-5 6-4
Never seen Hannah play before - she reminded me rather of a young Katie Boulter - long arm and leggy, very nice technique, but actually more dynamic and mobile than Katie B was at that age. It was a good quality match, Bejlek refused to go away, but Hannah thoroughly deserved it.
But I assume that didn't last long as he's listed on the new elite Loughborough Academy list
Thanks for the link. Not clear whether or not he was intending just moving for a few months, but the article seems to imply a longer commitment. However Tennis First announced a few months ago that he was moving back to the UK to be coached by Nick Cavaday in Loughborough from September 2019
