Week 36 - ITF (W25) Tarvisio, Italy Clay

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Shame she couldn't have sneaked into the main draw, especially as she's obviously ranked a fair bit higher now, but good to see Fran back out so quickly following her really good showing last week, and a much better turnaround than what you'd normally have if you played 5 matches at an event the previous week.

Taken a while, but the Qs have been placed and Fran plays the German 5th seed Gerlach. Not sure if they are scheduled to play today.
