Did a 13 year old Brit just beat and 18 year old top 20 junior???!
I know !!!
Mimi was playing really well at the U18s, and seems quite comfortable on grass - lovely groundshots - but I didn't think she'd put out, as you say, the top 20 18-year-old (who has a CH of JWR 9). And in two sets. And not a complete quirk - because she's already beaten a top 50 youngster.
Alicia and Mimi lost to the eventual finalists - and Linda F has just taken the title in a 3 setter (with the French Open champion being Linda Noskova - we may be set for an era of domination from Czech Lindas)

And in the Wimbledon women's event the Czechs have the most in the L16 with 3 including the French Open champion, having had 5 in the L32, alrhough no Lindas. Sonething's been going very right there for a long time and looks likely to continue.
