So no overwhelming favourite in any of those 6 matches, even the youngsters, not named Emma, have a reasonable chance of a W25 main draw win. Would be very happy to see 4 wins, 3 probably par. Looking forward to seeing a few of these live for the first time (the 3 teenagers).
Sam has just started now.. Only one game but she's striking the ball well. Impressed by the quality of her returns against some good serves. Gets the early break and then an easy hold.. An obvious huge difference in quality and standard vis-a-vis the Collins/ Shaw game yesterday.
Yes really fantastic from Amarni. She has 7 ranking pts now, so still three pts or 1 counter short from getting a WTA ranking.
Great to see Emma back on court too after her fall from last week... and seemingly moving freely and without any bandages or strappings either. She plays lovely tennis. I see Kostova is already getting upset (end of 3rd game).
