Week 34 - (ITF W60) - Prerov Czech Republic Clay


Not an easy match for either - but probably easier for Sarah Beth.

Good luck both smile

Beth comes through via the MTB - had a number of match points in the second set and the MTB.

Took the long way round but what a win. Some very good tennis on what looked like a slow, heavy court. Well done, stayed so cool despite all the match points being missed (well saved by her young opponent I must add).

Just to give some context to Beth's win today (thanks to Steven):

Perov W60 FQR:
16th Q seed @SarahBethGrey edges 8th Q seed Sára Bejlek CZE WR 442 (CH 439 earlier this month; junior CH 52 in May) 6-3 6-7(5) 11:9
Really good win, given the 15-year-old Czech won a W60 event last month, beating Fran Jones 0&3 & Ormaechea 0&0 in SFs & Final!

I think Bejlek saved 7 match points (two on Beth's serve in the 10th game of the 2nd set, one more in the 12th, and then 4 more from 5-9 down in the MTB) - I might well be wrong, but I got the impression both won more points from the end nearest the camera, maybe a wind effect?

Another good win for Beth - 13 points this week so far (5+9-1) should give her more than 40 places in the rankings.

Sarah Beth could end up playing Bejlek again in the next round. It will either be her or Parry, the number 2 seed.

Bejlek was the highest ranked of the three seeds to lose in the FQR so I suppoe it was inevitable that she would get the LL spot. Either way, it'll still be a tough match.

It's deja vu time.

She had the same 1 in 7 chance as the other 6 WTA ranked losers in the FQR.

 Yes, I realised that it was 1 in 7(Tomajkova being the unranked loser) - I just meant it was inevitable that it would work out like this.
