but not for long, Matilda is serving for the set at 5-2

That AO girls champ who just turned 15 last month has taken out another seed, so that's who Matilda will play next if she can see this one out.

I wonder where she is actually based -she appears to be the only ranked player from Andorra, women or juniors. She's won half a dozen junior titles in Spain, so I am assuming she could be based near Barcelona.

Matilda is still on a roll - 8 games in a row and now serving at 5-0

Matilda is into the SF winning 6-2 6-0

Thanks David. I only occasionally look at the juniors, but that was very interesting.

I think she is based near Barcelona TA, definitely based in Spain as there's a few Spanish posters on TF who follow her progress and hope she eventually switches.

 Has Andorra ever had a sports star? Don't some skiers/cyclists live there?

I can't think of any sports stars myself, certainly no household names in any of the sports I follow (which don't include the 2 you mention). It would be nice to have a tennis star emerge from one of the smaller nations, assuming she does continue to represent Andorra when she starts playing more full time.

I'd quite like to see that match tomorrow, but don't think there are any streams available. Matilda was 6-4 3-1* up in their AO meeting, but kind of fell away.
