Also, she's only 2007 (I know several others are too)
She's quite tall.
She was runner-up in the doubles last week (although that might have been 90% due to Abby Kelliher, of course, who is also 2007 and going great guns at the moment).
She won all her quali matches here barely losing a couple of games...
I don't know ..... I'm probably making it up - it just seems an interesting profile.....
(NB I note now that she had to retire in R1, which is a real shame, hope she's OK)
Definitely a tougher week with more highly rated players from home and overseas in the draw. In the boys and girls, with talia beating last weeks winner 1&1 first round today.
Theres a J3 at Loughborough in early December - Will any of our top players here get into that field ?
Yes I would think a fair few of the GB players would Matt rankin, Louis bowden, Phoenix, Luca, will Jansen amongst others and girls Mimi, Ella, talia, Isabelle Lacey. Some of the higher ranked will be over in the US doing the JA I would think such as Eva Shaw.
Yes Daniela joined the Loughborough academy this year, think she came from the same tennis academy as Abby Kelliher prior to joining.
Thanks. I'd noticed that they played dubs together, obviously, so it makes sense now.
Ruby Cooling is another 2007 name that I'm following from afar.
NB We've now got twenty 2007-ers girls with ITF rankings, (and three 2008-ers) which is great and largely due to the home events this year (and Johnson's flight restrictions so no one else came)
In the boys, however, we only have five 2007-ers and zero 2008-ers.
Alaia Perez beat third seed, Issey Purser, in two sets.
Giulia Lesa def. 7th seed from Denmark
And the star performance goes to young Abby Kelliher who beat the fourth seed, from Japan, for the second week on the trot (although with a lot more trouble this time)
